FinanceQuote installation difficulties on Mac OS X 10.5

[Iain Pardoe]

I tried sudo cpan -i HTML::TreeBuilder and then sudo cpan -i  
Finance::Quote and it seems to have installed now! I'm too tired now  
to fully test within Gnucash to see if I can get online quotes working  
for me, but I'll give it a go tomorrow. I can't thank you enough John.
