| Subject: | Silently ignores if it can't open the connection to the memcached server |
Hi,
I have come across very annoying bug in Cache::Memcached module where it
doesn't shout when it can't reach the memcached server. User happily
thinks all is good where in reality it is not.
I have attached the test script that I used for testing. I tried calling
mehod sock_to_host() to check if we actually have any socket or not.
That does tell me whether the server is up or down.
It would have been nice if this was checked in the constructor i.e. new()
and carp() if it can't reach memcached server.
I take this opportunity to Thank you for such a lovely interface.
Best Regards,
