Unfortunately we're still running Solaris on this specific Server which makes everything about Perl-Modules a nightmare. This is the reason we're so behind on versions. So far, thank you for all your thoughts.

    Does this mean you're using the Solaris-supplied version of Perl rather than building your own? I strongly agree with Fletch on this one:

    If you're doing anything serious with Perl you DO NOT want to use the OS' perl as that way lies much pain. Doing so couples you tightly to the OS' upgrade schedule for both the language and (if you're using its package manager for them) CPAN modules.

      As far as I know we're not using the system default perl. I don't know why but they still can't just use cpan to install modules. That's why they have a hard time managing this old server.

    AFAICT lock_store has been available since Storable 1.0.2 (with a potentially relevant bugfix in Storable 2.0).
