Cache::Memcached is a module that interfaces with the memcached distributed memory cache daemon. Danga Interactive's memcached is a generic memory object caching system, often used to accelerate dynamic web sites by reducing load on slower databases. (See the memcached package) . This module allows Perl authors to quickly set and retrieve key/data pairs from memcached servers, even clusters of multiple daemons. As such, it is used to power several large-scale and high-performance web sites, including LiveJournal and Slashdot.
