I will never trust Storable to use it again. If I could, I'd vote it off the 'Perl core' island.

Heh! You know, many of the porters feel the same way. It took a tremendous amount of effort to get it compiling and testing perfectly on all the various platforms that Perl runs on. Compiler idiosyncrasies make it particularly difficult to get right each time. Changing a preprocessor macro to work around the damage in one compiler made it break in another.

And it continues to soak up developer effort, as time goes by. On the other hand, it's nice to have a big hairy XS module lying around so people can point to and say "oh no! not again!" whenever someone calls for another large XS module to be pulled into the core.
