Finance::Quote perl Crypt::SSLeay (Fred Bone)

[Spencer Aloysius]

There is a typo in the .bat file for installation.  Here is the answer
I recieved to the same issue.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There seems to be at least one other report about this, so I am going to
fix it, testing Perl 5.6 as well.  A work-around you could use is to
rename DateManip inside bin\install-fq-mods.bat.  If that does not work,
please correct me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changing DateManip to Date-Manip did work for me.  Or you can install
Date-Manip manually with Perl Package Manager and write a new .bat
that only includes the parts of the install-fq-mods.bat downstream of
the Date-Manip installation command.  Adding the hyphen in the .bat
file is easier, though.  You can do it in Notepad.
