Ugh -- no.  This is terrible.  Look at this:

[~]% corelist Switch
Switch was first released with perl v5.7.3 and removed from v5.13.1

Since you do not specify a minimum perl version you might be alright,
but for those people on 5.14 -- they won't have this module, for good
reason.  You can, if you wanted use "given/when" as alternate
constructs to this.

This might have problems transcending storable formats made on a 32bit
machine, and then trying to unpack them again on 64bit.  Do you really
need the need for these storable items to be encoded as binary?
