FIX: [mv] Debian perl5.6 error, need current Storable
Re: perl5.6 and Storable, Debian unstable, heads up FYI
We just updated some devel machines to current unstable with perl5.6.
The Storable in debian perl is v.6. Scripts in perl5.005 that work
just fine with that fail with perl5.6. When we built our own Storable
perl -MCPAN
make install UNINST=1
the scripts work fine.
