I didn't know that. It surprises me that 5.6.1 doesn't, but I don't know
Mac OS X (except indirectly via perl5-porters, particularly w.r.t.
LONG_MIN in <limits.h>)

Thanks for the report. I get these failures on every system I've built
Storable with 5.6.0 on, and documented them in the ChangeLog.
Probably I should have done it in the README, or even as a warning in the
Makefile.PL.
To the best of my knowledge Storable 2.00 works just as well on 5.6.0 as
1.0.14. The test is failing because of bug in eq in perl 5.6.0:
$ cat S560crap.t
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.0
use warnings;
use strict;
my $utf8 = "\x{DF}\x{100}";
chop $utf8;
my $byte = "\xDF";
if ($utf8 eq $byte) {
printf "Yes\n";
} else {
print "No\n";
printf "%d byte of %d, %b byte of %d\n", length $utf8, ord $utf8,
length $byte, ord $byte;
}
__END__
$ perl5.7.3 S560crap.t
Yes
$ perl5.6.1 S560crap.t
Yes
$ perl5.6.0 S560crap.t
No
1 byte of 223, 1 byte of 223
