I'm trying to use the stats() method of Cache::Memcached::libmemcached:

  #!/usr/local/bin/perl
  use Data::Dumper;
  use Cache::Memcached::libmemcached;
  use strict;
  use warnings;

  my $cache = Cache::Memcached::libmemcached->new(
      { servers => [ 'host8:11211', 'host7:11211', ] } );
  print Dumper($cache->stats);

and getting corrupted results when there is more than one server - see below. The result for host 8 seems fine, the result for host7 is clearly corrupted (e.g. look at 'version').

Other times I get a seg fault or other kind of crash, though I can't generate one right now.

Is this supported? The docs say this method is still "half-baked", but I figured that meant that only some of the stats are reported, not corruption or crashing.

The crash worried me as we're about to deploy Cache::Memcached::libmemcached in a large production system. I haven't seen any problems except from the stats call, but it still sets off alarm bells. Is this production ready? Should I be using another client like Cache::Memcached::Fast instead?

Thanks
Jon
