Can Hazelcast be used as a cache for *perl* web apps?

Question

I am looking at quickly implementing a hazelcast in-memory cache for a web application.

The web application is written in perl...

...so is there a way to access a hazelcast Map via perl?

Or, in worst case, must I write a thin hazelcast client in java, and call that from perl?

Thanks Steve

Answer 1

I'd suggest looking at Cache::Memcached as this post to the hazelnut google groups seems to imply that someone else has already done this using this module.

For other solutions, you could continue searching on cpan for Memcache. Or for a non distributed solution, can just go with the core library Memoize.

Answer 2

If there a memcached client for Perl? If so you can use the memcached protocol to connect to Hazelcast.

Hazelcast could be used through its REST Api so you need a JVM with Java library to support this feature.
