    I don't think Storable uses the same binary representation as Storable. :) Even with nstore() I get incompatible binaries from Storable on different platforms.

      Storable.pm is supposed to be backwards-compatible. You should be able to read a (nstore) storable file with every Storable version which is same or newer as the Storable module used for writing.

        Doing a straight scp of them from a FreeBSD box to a Linux box broke mine. I suppose scp might be to blame? Systems stuff is a screaming left hand turn from my forte.
