[Dancer-users] Memcached beginners problem

[Niels Larsen]

Greetings,

I, a Dancer newcomer, have trouble getting Dancer::Session::Memcached
to 
work. All works with session Simple, but with memcached I get the error
below. The memcached server was started with ./memcached (responds on
port
11211) and the Cache::Memcached module is installed. The application was
started with just ./application.pl --environment development, and the 
development.yml file has in it 

session: "memcached"
memcached_servers: "127.0.0.1:11211"

I did not 'use Dancer::Session::Memcached' because documentation does 
not say so, and I'm sure its a dumb mistake by me. But the crash is not
so informative, and the format of the listing could be also be improved:
module names (not file names) and line numbers should be at the left so
they line up, and the traceback should include application code. It only
shows Dancer code. 

And a wish: the Messagepack library is the fastest serialization method,
I think, and I hope Dancer will support it some day. I use it already, 
and Kyoto Tycoon for permanent storage, works well. Unlike Membase/cache
one can save pretty big strings, which reduces the number of times one 
must touch the storage, which again speeds the whole thing.
