I was under the impression that you cannot (err, should not) upgrade Storable without upgrading Perl at the same time.. Is that not the case?..

Also, I am not sure if it is failing during a read or a write, but according to the stack trace I'd say probably more likely a write...

Here is the code for writing: 
      my @vals=(\@someArray,\%someHash);
      my $res=store(\@vals,"$path/$name");

Here is some code for reading: 
  my @someArray = ();
  my %someHash = ();
  my $res=retrieve("$path/$name");
  if($res) {
    my ($tmp1, $tmp2) = @$res;
    if($tmp1) {
      @someArray = @$tmp1;
    }
    if($tmp2) {
      %someHash = %$tmp2;
    }
  }

I started doing diff on storable.xs and am pretty sure that it must be failing inside magic_write, somewhere around this line: 
WRITE(header, length);

Interestingly this was changed in 2.07 to: 
WRITE( (unsigned char*) header, length);

The WRITE #define has been unchanged, even up to version 2.13: 
#define WRITE(x,y)                             \
  STMT_START {                                \
    if (!cxt->fio)                            \
        MBUF_WRITE(x,y);                    \
    else if (PerlIO_write(cxt->fio, x, y) != y)    \
        return -1;                            \
  } STMT_END

I'm not a C programmer so I'm not sure what relevance any of this has, could this be the source of the problem?... I can't find in the ChangeLog why that particular change was made and don't really know what it does...

Any ideas?...
