Out of curiosity i benchmarked it and got the following results: 
use Benchmark qw(timethese);

use Clone;
use Storable;
#use Scalar::Util::Clone;

my $struct = { 'foo' => 'bar', 'move' => 'zig', bar => [1, 2, 3] };

timethese
(
    500000,
    {
        'Clone'               => sub { my $s = Clone::clone($struct)  
+              },
        #'Scalar::Util::Clone' => sub { my $s = Scalar::Util::Clone::c
+lone ($struct) },
        'Storable'            => sub { my $s = Storable::dclone ($stru
+ct)           }
    }
);

#Benchmark: timing 500000 iterations of Clone, Storable...
#  Clone:  3 wallclock secs ( 4.28 usr +  0.00 sys =  4.28 CPU) @ 1169
+04.37/s (n=500000)
#  Storable: 74 wallclock secs (69.62 usr +  0.03 sys = 69.65 CPU) @ 7
+178.65/s (n=500000)

The reason because Scalar::Util::Clone is commented out is that I couldn't make it compile nor did I find a ppd for it. Maybe someone else can step in?
