Thank you for your thoughts.
Unfortunately, Storable and JSON aren't installed.
And given that the script is to be used by a larger group of people, getting them to do a local install first is a bit of a pain.

    It's a bit strange that you have the core module Data::Dumper but not other core modules. The only OS that I've heard of where core modules may not be installed is RHEL and derivatives like CentOS, where you can install perl-core to get all of them, or to get individual modules, you could install e.g. perl-Storable or perl-JSON-PP. Otherwise, it could theoretically be a Perl version issue - JSON::PP was released as part of the core as of Perl 5.14 (over 10 years ago now). Also, make sure you looked for JSON::PP (core) and not JSON (not core).
