Dear Monks I use Memcached in conjunction with ubuntu and Windows server 2003 hosts without problems, but I'm now trying to write some code that needs to run under windows XP and the client library seems to be unhappy under XP. My environment is Activestate Perl 5.10.0 and Cache::Memcached installed via PPM. My minimal test case is; 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;
use Cache::Memcached;

my $CACHE = new Cache::Memcached( { servers => [ "myremotecache.com:11
+211" ] });

print Dumper($CACHE->stats());

This works fine from a remote linux box (the cache is on a different windows 2003 server) and on the windows XP machine I can telnet to the remote cache OK and issue a stats command manually. The code above however fails with Use of initialized value $sock in ref-to-glob cast at ... Memcached.pm line 365 and a clutch of other similar errors. Does any learned Monk know how whether or not the client library should work under XP and if not, how it might be fixed?
