Problem with FinanceQuote install on OSX 10.6.8

[bunk3m]

Thank you, John.

I deleted .cpan and re-ran FinanceQuote.  It looks like it worked.

Could you tell me what this means?

>>Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store
persistent state

I presume since I followed the defaults given, that I don't need this
'YAML' installed?

Thanks again for your help.
