TM::ResourceAble::MemCached - Topic Maps, Memcached server backend

    use TM::ResourceAble::MemCached;
    use Fcntl;
    # create/reset new map
    my $tm = new TM::ResourceAble::MemCached (
                baseuri => 'http://whereever/', 
		servers => [ localhost:11211 ],
		mode    => O_TRUNC | O_CREAT,
	     );

    # use TM interface

    # open existing map
    my $tm = new TM::ResourceAble::MemCached (
                 baseuri => 'http://whereever/', 
		 servers => [ localhost:11211 ],
             );

This package implements TM using a memcached server farm as backend. You should be able (without much testing, mind you, so it is EXPERIMENTAL) to perform all operations according to the TM interface.

NOTE: The implementation is using the TIE technique (perltie via Tie::StdHash), so maybe there are problems lurking.

Of course, a set of memcacheds can store any number of maps. To keep them separate, the baseuri is used, so make sure every map gets its own baseuri.

The constructor expects a hash with the following keys:

servers (default: none)

The value must be a reference to an array of strings, each of the form host:port. If there is no such list, then the constructor will fail.

mode (default: O_CREAT)

The value must be a value from Fcntl to control

whether the map should be created (O_CREAT) when it does not exist, and/or

whether the map should be cleared (O_TRUNC) when it existed before.

All other options are passed to the constructor chain of traits (TM::ResourceAble) and superclasses (TM).
