+Norton AntiVirus interferes with the build process, particularly if 
+set to "AutoProtect, All Files, when Opened". Unlike large applications 
+the perl build process opens and modifies a lot of files. Having the  
+the AntiVirus scan each and every one slows build the process significantly.
+Worse, with PERLIO=stdio the build process fails with peculiar messages
+as the virus checker interacts badly with miniperl.exe writing configure 
+files (it seems to either catch file part written and treat it as suspicious,
+or virus checker may have it "locked" in a way which inhibits miniperl
+updating it). The build does complete with 
+   
+   set PERLIO=perlio
+
+but that may be just luck. Other AntiVirus software may have similar issues.

 surprises, particularly if you have had prior exposure to Perl
