Is this on Windows, as you indicated originally? It bears no resemblance 
whatsoever to what I get when I run the "install online price retrieval". 
There is no need to "accept defaults" as no prompts are issued; the whole 
thing just runs itself. Here is the start of the output:
-----

* Check Perl

* Install DateManip

What version of Perl are you running? You appear to be fetching from CPAN 
rather than from ActiveState (and that's a later Crypt-SSLeay than I'm 
getting).

The Perl installer should take care of that. (Though AFAIK, it should 
also refrain from trying to reinstall Crypt_SSLeay-0.53 given that it 
already did so last time I reran).
