I try to use 'our' That doesn't seem to present $storage in the other packages
The reason for this is that $storage is declared into the main:: package, so isn't a global. If you still want to use as is with your classes you could always access it by it's full path $main::storage, but that's not a great solution.

I think your best options are either to pass it to the constructor each time or put it in the Source package as a package variable and have the Destination package access it from their e.g 

$Source::storage = Storage->new();
# in package Destination
do_stuff_to($Source::storage);

Another option would be to have Destination inherit from Source 
package Destination;
@ISA = qw(Source);
...

# main code
$Source::storage = Storage->new();
# Destination can now use $storage, hurrah

 Er, nope, that's wrong. Why? Because child classes only inherit methods, and even then it's only through the method lookup done by objects.
