Agreed. Here's an extract of parrot's changelog:
 + Modified PMC code generation to use Storable, reducing compile times

And if you look at http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=881140 , you'll see that 
Storable binary format depends also on compilation options of Perl.

If we consider that Storable internal format is part of Perl binary interface, 
parrot should then depend on perlapi-*.

Using Storable is not future-proof. I mean that storing data with Storable 
does not really work across Storable versions.
