I haven't checked, but Digest::SHA should be a CPAN module just like 
Finance::Quote.  My distro (Mandriva) has a package perl-Digest-SHA, or you 
can use CPAN: as root, run "perl -MCPAN -e shell;" including the ";" and 
follow the prompts.  Then when you have a basic setup, run "install 
Digest::SHA".  man cpan.

HTH,
