This looks really useful!

However, when I try to "make" the Makefile in OLE::Storage-Lite,
I get the warning message

  Warning: prerequisite IO::Scalar 2.101 not found.

I do not seem to have this (perl5/5.8.0). What should I do?
(Not a perl expert!)

I do have the following:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/PerlIO/scalar
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/PerlIO/scalar/scalar.bs
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/PerlIO/scalar/scalar.so

With thanks,
Ted.
