thanks for the really fast response folks.
I want it mostly for auditing, health checking and keeping an eye on
the cache during this early implementation phase. Being able to cast
an eye over some of our scalar entries would be particularly useful in
this regard. If we could access the cache we could create summarised
data usage reports and develop a sense of how the cache looks over
time (trends) which would be better than just the stats.
For example we have a scalar list with a counter. We just look to see
if the counter exists and if it does we increment it. But the keys are
(except for the prefix) dynamic and so we can't have a program which
looks at the cache data (without knowing the keys) to generate a
normal curve for the specific key hits. I know there are other ways to
do this but I think the cache is the logical place to get the info
from. Being able to analyze some of this data will also help us to
learn about what is effective to have in the cache and what is not.

As far as I know there is not a way to dump the contents of the
cache even by using a prefix of the key.

Hi again
A bit more on this - Even if I could match a partial key. All my
keys start as some string for example "ACA:mykey". If I could
extract all "ACA:" type keys that would be very helpful. Almost all
my keys/values are scalars.

Hi folks
I am a new user for memcached - love it already. We are experiencing
a better than expected hit rate. This is reducing load on sql and
dns RBL lookups across several machines. Magic.
Could you let me know if it is possible to dump out the contents of
the cache ? I tried the following but without success. I thought it
might return a hash of it all.
my $memd = new Cache::Memcached {
'servers' => [ "localhost:11211" ],
'debug' => 0,
namespace => 'myCache:'
};
my $cache=$memd->get('myCache');
print Dumper $cache;
Just a point here - I have been programming in various languages for
20+ years but perl is new to me so I might be overlooking an
obvious :).
