Jim, your reading is correct.
Storable entered core in 5.7.3, when core modules still had to install to "perl" to replace old
versions from core. That's why the line says:
INSTALLDIRS => $] >= 5.007 ? 'perl' : 'site',
It's saying, "If you're installing me on a perl that had me in core, you better install over that
version."
The need to install "over" the core's copy in the "perl" dirs was eliminated in 5.12.0 by the "@INC
reorganization." After that, site came first, so normal installs work. The upper bound on
installing to 'perl' instead of 'site' should be 5.12.0, exclusive. So the Storable INSTALLDIRS
should be:
INSTALLDIRS => ($] >= 5.007 && $] < 5.012) ? 'perl' : 'site',
