@INC is the Perl library search path. Storable.pm is the filename of the
Storable module.

No, that's the Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable module; not the same
module at all.

Storable is in the libstorable-perl package in testing. I'm guessing the
scoop maintainer forgot to include this as a dependency because it's
part of the main perl package in unstable. Please file a bug to let him
know of this; it won't be a big deal by the time we release sarge but it
would be useful for backwards compatibility.

Cheers,
