It very well might:

eix perl-Storable
* virtual/perl-Storable
     Available versions:  2.07 2.13 2.15
     Installed:           none
     Homepage:            http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/
     Description:         Virtual for Storable


The point being, that there *is* no other ebuild *but*
virtual/perl-Storable, so the fact that it cannot be found/resolved
seems very likely to be a sync issue of some sort rather than a bug,
/per se/, especially since this is the "middle" available version.

What version of mysql are you attempting to install, John, and what ARCH
are you running (emerge info)?
