+compact binary format. Because in effect Storable does serialisation
+of Perl data structues, with it you can also clone deep, hierarchical
+datastructures. Storable was created by Raphael Manfredi but it is
+now maintained by the Perl development team. Storable has been
+enhanced to understand the two new hash features, Unicode keys and
+restricted hashes. See L<Storable>.
