Well, looking at the source for Storable (2.07) on cpan, it seems to me that Log::Agent is optional, as is evidenced by the following code taken from Storable.pm:

#
# Use of Log::Agent is optional
#

eval "use Log::Agent";

So either you're using a different version of Storable, in which Log::Agent is required (I find that hard to believe), or there's a bug in Storable, or something else is going on. Can you provide some sample code, and perhaps actual error messages that you're getting, something more informative than 'it keeps giving fatal errors because it can't find Log::Agent'?

I hope you can get Storable to work for you, since it's a great module, but as a fall-back plan, you could try storing your Hash of Arrays using Data::Dumper itself, printing the dump to a file, then evaling it back in...
