This is because the version of Storable in the Perl core has been
updated. This new version includes data size information in the header.
Since the FreeBSD port of Perl 5.8.4 uses 64 bits, it falls into the
trap noted in the Storable documentation. Please 'perldoc Storable' and
search for the error message that you're seeing. It's towards the end of
the POD.
