That makes sense given that, I think, this is related to the
-Duse64bitint change in the Perl 5.12 packaging. On 32-bit systems, the
Perl 5.10 packaging wrote out Storable data in such a way that the new
use64bitint Perl 5.12 Storable can't read back in.
If whatever was using Storable had used one of the nstore* functions,
then there's no problem. It's just a problem when using store*.
$ perl5.10 -le '
use Storable qw(store_fd);
use FileHandle;
use Data::Dumper;
$f = FileHandle->new(">storable.test");
store_fd({Dumper($f)}, $f);'
$ perl5.12 -le '
use Storable qw(fd_retrieve);
use FileHandle;
use Data::Dumper;
$f = FileHandle->new("<storable.test");
print Dumper(fd_retrieve($f));'
Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into
../../lib/auto/Storable/fd_retrieve.al) line 398, at -e line 1
