Installing Finance::Quote

[GRAHAM SMITH]

Tommy, Thank you for your attention to my problem.
I have now solved this problem and find that the Perl download adds the Path variables automatically.
I am now struggling to get Funds to automatically update prices! I have Stocks automatically updating but Funds report that access to data to update has not been possible.
I shall struggle on and then if unsuccessful send in another request for help.
Graham

I have never used Windows 7 so I cannot confirm this, but a Google
search for "add windows 7 environment path" turned up this article:

http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx

(My apologies if that long URL broke in your email client -- it should
be at or near the top in a Google search.)
