Solving this is going to take some effort. Here is a small piece of code that reproduces the error:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Storable qw(nstore_fd fd_retrieve);
use IO::Zlib;
use Data::Dumper;
my $test = { foo => "bar" };
my $fh = IO::Zlib->new("out.gz", "wb");
nstore_fd($test, $fh);
$fh->close;
my $fh2 = IO::Zlib->new("out.gz", "rb");
my $href = fd_retrieve($fh2);
$fh2->close;
print Dumper $href;
The error (message) is the same but I'm not positive the error itself is. In particular, $AUTOLOAD in this instance is IO::Zlib::FILENO (not READ) and it is being called from Storable::_store_fd (which is in _store_fd.al) which is in turn being called by Storable::nstore_fd (in nstore_fd.al)... But, going back and printing the argument when in each of those functions shows it to be IO::Zlib=GLOB(0x81242f8) which is a glob ref as desired. It is only when we get to Zlib's AUTOLOAD that it prints as IO::Zlib=HASH(0x81b84b8). So, it looks like the call to fileno() in _store_fd() is where things are breaking.
And, sure enough...
perl -MIO::Zlib -e '$fh = IO::Zlib->new("test.gz", "wb"); print fileno
+($fh)'
That's a minimal demonstration of the problem. (So, you can stop looking at Storable as the real problem, anyway.)
Adding some quick prints to see what's going on...
sub AUTOLOAD
{ print "AUTOLOAD(@_)\n";
my $self = shift;
print $self, " $AUTOLOAD\n@{[caller]}\n";
$AUTOLOAD =~ s/.*:://;
$AUTOLOAD =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/;
return tied(*{$self})->$AUTOLOAD(@_);
}
And running that:
$ perl -MIO::Zlib -e '$fh = IO::Zlib->new("test.gz", "wb"); print file
+no($fh)'
AUTOLOAD(IO::Zlib=HASH(0x81e8b30))
IO::Zlib=HASH(0x81e8b30) IO::Zlib::FILENO
main -e 1
Not a GLOB reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/IO/Zlib.pm line
+ 566.
Changing
fileno($fh) to
$fh->fileno results in:
$ perl -MIO::Zlib -e '$fh = IO::Zlib->new("test.gz", "wb"); print $fh-
+>fileno'
AUTOLOAD(IO::Zlib=GLOB(0x8124538))
IO::Zlib=GLOB(0x8124538) IO::Zlib::fileno
main -e 1
AUTOLOAD(IO::Zlib=HASH(0x81e8b3c))
IO::Zlib=HASH(0x81e8b3c) IO::Zlib::ILENO

Ick! Where's that "IO::Zlib::ILENO" coming from?
Oh well, that's where I'm at now. I've got to set it down for a bit as I have real paying work to do. :-) Maybe you or someone else would like to pick up there. I'll look deeper later on if no one else nails it.

be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not

horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
