Update-Finance-Quote dependancy of libwww-perl

[David]

Hello,
   
    The script that comes with GnuCash doesn't check if libwww-perl is 
installed, which it won't work without.
I emailed the Finance::Quote developer and he agrees that something 
should be done, but it isn't his script.

    Gentoo is the only distro that I have had GnuCash installed on, so I 
don't know about the others. Maybe some
install libwww-perl my default.

    I wrote a patch to add a line to the script saying basically that 
libwww-perl must be installed for Quotes to work
in GnuCash.  I don't really want to deploy the patch though. I would 
prefer the fix came from the people developing
GnuCash.

    Gentoo didn't want to make another dep, frankly because GnuCash 
doesn't depend on libwww-perl. But a notice
of the fact was agreed on. One suggestion was at the end of GnuCash 
build process. I think it would be more appropriate
to put it in the Update-Finance-Script. Because people may not remember 
that notice if they install the Finance::Quote
Perl module later.

    So can something be done on your end to add a notice in the script 
that libwww-perl needs to be installed also?

Thanks, Dave
