fink doesn't have finance-quote 1.13 yet (I'm trying to figure out  
how to test a perl 5.8.8 version), if I'm reading the macports trac  
right, they won't have 1.13 until tomorrow or the next day. So it  
looks to me like you updated with cpan. That's fine, as long as you  
don't have pieces around from either a fink or macports install too.  
Try uninstalling any of the other finance-quote versions you have  
around (if you used fink to install gnucash, you'll have to force  
remove finance-quote since fink knows that gnucash wants it there.).
