Are you sure?  Have you tried:
Your_prompt> perldoc Storable
at the command line?  If the documentation is there, the functionality probably is 
also.  You can also make
at least a quick and dirty check for functionality itself by:

Your_prompt> perl -MStorable

If Perl can not load Storable.pm, it will squack when the use-module switch for 
Storable is specified on the
command line.

Better to use CPAN--even if it's broken, which mine is.  Even crippling along it seems 
to get the job done on
modules for which no ppm is available.

Try:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Storable

You mentioned the version of the module you downloaded, but have not told us what Perl 
version you are
running.  What leads you to believe that Storable is not available in your 
installation?

Have you done much of the low-level installation approach you describe above?  It is 
usually not good for
your Perl installation, unless you have a very comprehensive understanding of its 
structure.  Use ppm first.
If ppm fails, try using CPAN.  Only if neither of the built-in installation facilities 
is successful should
you resort to hand installation.

I'd suggest first making sure that the module is not loaded.  If not, please post 
again and let us know what
Perl version you are running.
