Finance::Quote

[Doug Laidlaw]

Sounds as though Guy should try Mandriva.  I am running Mv2006, which 
installed 1.8.9 (I think) and took care of all dependencies.  I have 
Finance::Quote 1.10.  I then uninstalled the Mandriva version (which didn't 
of course touch the dependencies) and installed 2.0.1 with "make 
install." (since I couldn't get an RPM to compile with the spec file.  
Amazing how distro-specific they can often be!) Have had no problems.  The 
same method should work with any distro.

Doug.
