Hello, I've developed a Perl client for Cassandra and would like to share it with the community. It's an abstraction of the thrift api, and it is based on Pycassa (the python lib). The code is stable as far as my usage goes but it has not been widely tested. Anyone wanting to use it, file bugs, or submit code is welcome to do so (encouraged, even!). The client is called Cassandra::Simple and is available on github[0].
