The above function doesn't look correct or useful. I wrote one to convert Storable 2.30 32-bit x86 data to 64-bit architecture. It seemed to work correctly for my data but was not thoroughly tested. Hope someone finds it useful. You should be able to tweak it as needed for other systems.
# Convert Linux (little-endian) 32-bit Storable format to 64-bit.
# Doesn't yet handle a few Storable types.
# Tweak xxx lines for your architectures.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
