Hello.  I'm running Gnucash 2.2.5 in Windows XP SP3.  I am not familiar to
Perl, so this is quite new to me.

Finance::Quote is not installed, and I'm following the online documentation
from GnuCash along with Perl beginner forums to install this module.
Additionally, two other modules are not installed and I am trying to install
them--HTML:: TableExtract and Date::Manip.

I ran gnc-fq-update and I get the following an error regarding parsing a
YAML file.  I checked ActivePerl to make sure that I have the most recent
updates to all YAML packages.  Still, I get the same error.  The log is
shown below.

I would appreciate as much as help as I can get.  Thank you very much.
