Re^4: Installation of Storable 3.11 fails due to antivirus removing test data

Rob, Thanks for the suggestions. The force install seems like my best option for this.

To confirm what you suspected about the Metasploit code being removed from the test suite I found the following on Github in the Perldelta notes for Storable:

=item *

L<Storable> has been upgraded from version 3.13 to 3.14.

Storable no longer probes for recursion limits at build time. [perl
#133708] and others.

Metasploit exploit code was included to test for CVE-2015-1992
detection, this caused anti-virus detections on at least one AV suite.
The exploit code has been removed and replaced with a simple
functional test. [perl #133706]

I found the following on Github in the Perldelta notes for Storable Thanks for going to the trouble of finding that, and also for reporting back about it. I do think that, having fixed the problem, 3.14 ought to have been made more readily available. I guess, however, that Storable is rarely installed separately, as it's part of the perl core.
