The CPAN installation of Storable 3.11 failed in my portable install of Strawberry Perl on Windows 7. I found the failing test was CVE-2015-1592.t. That test is verifying that Storable will give a warning for "Movable-Type CVE-2015-1592 Storable metasploit attack".

After reading through that test and looking at the error it gave 'Can't open perl script "t/CVE-2015-1592.inc": No such file or directory' I noticed the inc file exists on my Windows 8 machine in the t/ folder in the CPAN build folder but not on the Windows 7 machine where the test fails. I downloaded the Storable archive and attempted to copy just that file to the hard drive but found it was immediately deleted and I can not view it in 7zip. The file contains the MetasploitModule Perl code.

The Windows 7 machine has a locked down corporate version of McAfee running and the other has Windows defender. I don't really like the idea of installing everything on the Windows 8 machine (update: and moving it to the Windows 7 machine) since that is my personal machine and that would be frowned upon. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Are there better options?
