Hi David,

Well, I deleted all of my F::Q files and did a re-installation using :

cpan -i Finance::Quote

No error messages were generated during the installation process, but when I 
tried to update prices in Gnucash the same old problem surfaced yet again.  
The F::Q version that was installed was 1.13. Perhaps I should try an older 
version? Or perhaps I should reinstall some of the modules that F::Q depends 
on like :

Crypt::SSLeay
TableExtract
UserAgent
Date::Manip

Any suggestions?
