I just posted a fixed version that Carl LaCombe sent to me to the ticket that is tracking these changes.  You can find the description of this at <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=62104#txn-1121440> and the file itself is at <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Attachment/1121440/589997/Tiaacref.pm.zip>. If you replace the copy of Tiaacref.pm that is part of your installed version of Finance Quote with this file (after decompressing it) things should work again.

Thanks to Carl for working on this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me.

I copied the file to /Library/Perl/5.12/Finance/Quote on my Mac.

I also tried removing all the extra (looks like man page) text from the bottom of the file, but that didn't help. Is it working now for you?

I still get the message that it was unable to retrieve quotes for TIAA-CREF (other quotes do work).

Any other suggestions? It was working until TIAA-CREF made the changes a few weeks ago.

Thanks,
Dave
