Re: Storable.pm: Byte order is not compatible

[GrandFather]

I presume you had existing data that was causing trouble when you tried to load it. Storable's various compatibility modes work by writing stuff in an appropriate format that allows it to be reloaded as required. However if default options are used storable doesn't write the information it requires to retrieve the data correctly when it is loaded again on an incompatible system.

However if default options are used ...

Could you elaborate? I can find an ominous mention "This is a design failure." under 64_bit_data_in_perl_5.6.0_and_5.6.1 in the Storable docs, but that section also mentions the global that tinita said didn't help. Or are you restating what that section said?
