The quotation will be different on Windows. An IV has not only length shown by ivsize, but also an order, as shown by byteorder. Both have to match for Storable to work. I also would promote the use of Sereal instead, as that was written with portability in mind.

You can also keep using Storable if what you store are strings from pack where you define the format yourself. A long would then be packed using "l>", and unpacked with the same signature: the ">" defines the endianness


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
