It's a bit confusing because the error is in error. You have to
have a Storable v1+ somewhere. Are you running this command line
so you have confidence in the true nature of binaries and libraries?
How did you check the locations?
pseudocode:
foreach $dir (@INC) {
( cd $dir ; find . -name "Storable*" )
}
If that doesn't work, let me know off list.
Best,
