to store and retrieve chunks of data from your applications.

Installation
9
------------
10
Mooncached is mostly standalone - it just depends on LuaSocket, which
11
is available in most BSD and Linux distributions, and from its site
12
at http://luasocket.luaforge.net/ .

Configuration
15
-------------
16
Just run mooncached.lua. It listens on port 11211 (the default
17
memcached port). You can use Squish
18
(http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/squish ) to produce a standalone
19
"mooncached" script.
