Yeah, in the end, I suspect you're right. And, I hadn't noticed RDBO::Cached before, glad you mentioned it. So what I'm likely to end up with here is actually my own RDBO::MAD (say) that hooks in with memcached as well as managing the split between storage and retrieval. > You, OTOH, just need to know how to do specifically what you want to > do.
