curr_items never decreases

[john allspaw]

and what would be useful in these stats, related to this thread, is the age of the oldest object in the cache,
which I've asked about before.   anyone come up with a way to add this to the stats ?

Yes, they are available in the stats interface.  I use the PHP/PECL API, 
so I am not sure how the Perl API returns that.  Here is a telnet 
session that shows the data:

$ telnet 10.1.1.9 11211
Trying 10.1.1.9...
Connected to 10.1.1.9.
