Finance::Quote never works

[Patrick M Kelly]

I uninstalled activestate perl.  There is no Strawberry directory either.
That was removed when uninstalling Strawberry Perl before trying
Activestate.  Added the  cmd /k and ran again from the menu.  It installed
strawberry perl and then ran a lot of perl stuff.  It seems to be not
finding modules it needs and then building and testing them.
At the end it says: An error occurred, see above.  Hundreds of lines, no way
for me to tell what the error is.

How can I copy this and send to you?

Well, you said that you'd tried everything that's been mentioned in the
list, so presumably that includes deleting Strawberry and /or ActiveState
perl and running Install Online Price Retrieval. Try it again, but first
right-click on it in the menu and select properties. In the Target line, got
to the beginning and make it look like C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /K
"C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\install-fq-mods.cmd" 

That will keep the window open after it quits, and you'll be able to examine
it to see what if anything went wrong.
