'our' version is not on CPAN (yet?), but you can find it here:
http://dev.tty.nl/memcached/
You should take the 2.0-rc3 version. (That's pure perl)
You can find a XS based one there as well (MemcacheC-1.1), but there seems to be a weird
bug in it. We use the perl version in production.

We would like to release it on cpan, if possible as the offical 2.0
version. Brad?
