Re: Google SoC: Fame and Fortune ($4500) await you!
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
