Problem installing Finance::Quote 1.27 SOLVED

[Chris Good]

Hi Erik & David,

 

I have now tried to update another Win 7 PC running McAfee Internet Security
Suite (latest version 12.8.934), and it also failed (this time with  'No
such file or directory') until I turned off Real-Time Scanning.

So now I'm confident the Anti-Virus program is the problem as there was no
reboot or Windows Updates in the mix this time.

 

I also am surprised that that I had to turn off anti-virus program. While I
have seen this recommended many times by software suppliers, this is the
first time I remember that I actually had to do it.

 

I'll try to report this to McAfee.

 

Erik,

 

Is this a known problem?

I tried searching https://rt.cpan.org/Public for virus & McAfee but didn't
find anything relevant.

 

Regards, Chris Good

I personally don't consider "Disable Your AV" to be a reasonable solution.
At least, not in this day and age.

 

I don't see on the CPAN bug tracker any further attempt to figure out why
the PERL modules won't update behind a WIndows AV program. I find that
troubling.

 

David
