I'm having an issue were my perl suddently and without any reason started throwing this exception back to me:

CGI Error: File is not a perl storable at blib\lib\Storable.pm (autosplit into blib\lib\auto\Storable_retrieve.al) line 380, at C:/myapp/src/main/perl/lib/Output.pm line 1831

Does anybody have any idea what the "File is not a perl storable at blib\lib\Storable.pm" is about and how to fix this?

Thanks, goe

When posting a question like this, you really should post the code that is causing the error. Even though ikegami might be able to guess the answer even without code :) – user1919238
As I wrote below, there are no code changes in my SVN. This issue started happening on its own just like that. I was however upgraded to an SSD so maybe the image got corrupted and is affecting my perl installation. – goe
But this error doesn't imply code changes at all. It implies that the file that you are reading has changed. – Dave Cross
Right, that why I suspect the image of my old HDD was corrupted when transferred to the SSD and it's affecting that file... – goe

You did something like

use Storable qw( retrieve );
my $data = retrieve('file.dat');

and file.dat isn't in a format Storable recognises.
