Perl API version v5.14.0 of Storable does not match v5.16.0 at /usr/sh
+are/perl5/core_perl/XSLoader.pm line 92.

It is kinda sad that this particular error gives you details about the full paths to a bunch of files but doesn't bother to include the two full paths that actually would be useful for diagnosing the problem. That is, it should tell you the full path to Storable.pm and to Storable.so (or whatever dynamic library it found to load).

But, since the paths that it reports include 

/usr/share/perl5/core_perl/XSLoader.pm
/usr/share­/perl5/ven­dor_perl/D­ate/Manip/­Obj.pm

It seems clear that the instance of Perl you installed puts module files into a directory structure that is not specific to one version of Perl. That is a very old idea that I find, these days, is just never worth the headaches it causes.

Likely, the version of Storable.pm that you wanted either got overwritten when a different version of Perl was installed (that stupidly shared the same /usr/share/perl5 directory structure) or (seems less likely) just gets ignored because the version of Storable.pm that you don't want gets found first due to the order of directories listed in @INC.

My suggestion is to uninstall all versions of Perl except the one included with the operating system, force a re-install of the Perl included in the operating system, and make sure that any other versions of Perl that you install don't touch nor look at any of the directories where the system Perl stores modules.
