HI Cassam, I'm using the perl Thrift API against 0.6.4 currently.
It sounds like you are having trouble getting thrift installed and/or getting the perl bindings built. If you already have thrift installed, you can just run: % thrift --gen perl interface/cassandra.thrift The libraries are now in gen-perl/Cassandra* You can copy those to your perl directory of choice. Once you have the libraries installed, you should be able to run the sample code from http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ThriftExamples#Perl to connect.
