I have recently installed Windows XP on my computer, and Strawberry Perl, as well as Comodo Antivirus (i am not advertising : i kind of took a random one, reading here and there that it's an OK one).

Everything works fine, but Comodo antivirus gets VERY annoying whenever i install a module : it asks me every 20 seconds if i'm OK for Build.PL, Makefile.PL, and most .t files to execute.
Also, every time i execute one of my programs it asks me if it's ok for it to execute.

What can i do about it?

I tried "trusting" all the files that are in the "strawberry" directory (containing perl, cpan, cpanm, etc), but it is not enough apparently : i still have the same problem.

Is there anything i can do on the "Perl side", or on the "Strawberry" side?

If the solution must be purely on the "Antivirus side", then i am sorry : this is not really a Perl question
Thanks in advance for any help though, as this is getting really annoying.

Have a good week-end :-)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
