I'm aware of MemCached-Windows, I already am using that as my server, however my issue is with the client end and that just points back to the same CPAN library :(

Given I can telnet to the server from the same system that is trying to be a client, I don't see why it won't open the socket (ie there should be no firewall issue). I've tried it against a second Memcached server that is running on ubuntu and have the same problem.

:-(

--------- UPDATED -----------

To add insult to injury, if I install the memcache win32 SERVER on my WinXP system, I can connect to it from a Win 2003 client using exactly the same test code and everything is fine. However the windows XP system refuses to even connect to the localhost system!

It seems to me that the client library Cache::Memcache doesn't work on WinXP at all with Activestate Perl - can someone out there confirm that it DOES actually work fine so at least I know it's something about my system that is the issue?

I've tried un-installing and reverting to version 1.24 rather than 1.26 but the same fault remains
