Re: Finance::Quote

Use the command =E2=80=98perl -V=E2=80=99 (that is a capital V) to see =
where your perl installation looks for modules to load. The source file =
for Finance::Quote (Quote.pm) needs to be in a directory Finance =
somewhere in that path.

You can install modules without using the cpan utility program.

First, download the module distribution from www.cpan.org. Then use =
these commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

(You may need to preface the last command with =E2=80=99sudo=E2=80=99)
