Using Cache-Memcached-1.24 and perl v5.8.4 for i86pc-solaris-64int, a
request for stats from a memcached server that does not exist or is
unavailable generates a series of "Use of uninitialized value" errors
in Memcached.pm; a callback or error code that can be checked would
allow scripts to gracefully handle the case when a server is down.
The following code illustrates the issue (assuming memcached is not
running on 9999).
my $memd = Cache::Memcached->new({
servers => ["127.0.0.1:9999" ]
});
my $misc_stats = $memd->stats('misc');
