Yep sounds like a good Idea and I have been using Memcached for aout two years now with DBD::Oracle but not in the way you are looking at it. I can offer my help as well but you might want to look at DBI::Gofer as I think Tim's plan was to make that compatible with memcached Cheers John Scoles mikhail maluyk wrote: > I'm currently very interested in DBI related stuff, and have a few of my own > ideas, which i'll reveal for your judgement. > > I'm thinking about creating a merge between DBI and memcached.
