This is acknowledged in the documentation for Storable (Perl 5.14.2):

###
BUGS
  You can't store GLOB, FORMLINE, REGEXP, etc.... If you can define
semantics for those operations, feel free to enhance Storable so that 
it can deal with them.

Personally, I don't think an acknowledged limitation of a library
qualifies as a bug -- the POD notwithstanding.

And if it's not a bug, then we should not keep an RT ticket open for
this.  Absent a patch or some complaint, I will close this ticket in 7
days time.

Thank you very much.
