merle : An erlang based memcached client.

Version : 0.3

Author : Joe Williams <[email protected]>

Info : http://github.com/joewilliams/merle/

merle uses LShift's gen_server2 module/behavior for faster message queues.

This code is available as Open Source Software under the MIT license.


Features:
* Support for stats, version, getkey, getskey, delete, set, add, replace, cas, flushall, verbosity

Notes:
* Uses term_to_binary and binary_to_term to serialize/deserialize Erlang terms before sending/receiving them. This allows for native Erlang terms to be returned from memcached but doesn't play well using other languages after setting values with merle or using merle to get values set by other languages.
