You can always identify your environment your application will run in. Take a look at CPAN, part of what it does is looking at what modules are installed and what versions. Depending on the config, it will upgrade or install other Perl packages as needed. If it did not, CPAN would be a little more than a fancy file copy utility.
Now if you don't want to work with Storable, that is fine, but what happens when another module that you depends on has issues because of different features from version to version? Are you going to curse that module too or are you going to do something about it?
Take a look at Module::Build and consider how it handles installing modules and maybe you can come up with a better solution than excommunicating Storable.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
