FinanceQuote installation difficulties on Mac OS X 10.5

[Iain Pardoe]

Thanks for the quick response John.  I tried deleting the .cpan folder  
as you suggested, then double-clicked on FinanceQuote Update again,  
and the same thing happened (no opportunity to change any of my  
answers to questions it asked the first time through). The last few  
lines of output were:

Failed Test         Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/00-use.t             2   512    19   36 189.47%  2-19

t/quote.t              2   512    28   56 200.00%  1-28
53 tests skipped.
Failed 3/56 test scripts, 94.64% okay. 58/59 subtests failed, 1.69%  
okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
   /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
   make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Before that was:

t/quote...............Can't locate HTML/TreeBuilder.pm in @INC (@INC

[then a bunch more lines like this]

I also noticed the following earlier in the output:

Going to read /Users/ipardoe/.cpan/sources/modules/ 
02packages.details.txt.gz
   Database was generated on Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:07:03 GMT

   There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9800) available!
   [Current version is v1.7602]
   You might want to try
     install Bundle::CPAN
     reload cpan
   without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
   while we are running...

and a short while after that it asked me:

Warning: prerequisite HTML::TreeBuilder 0 not found.
Writing Makefile for Finance::Quote
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [E/EC/ECOCODE/Finance- 
Quote-1.18.tar.gz] -----
     HTML::TreeBuilder
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes]

Thanks again for your help with this.

Best wishes, Iain
