On my Mac (10.9.1 running Gnucash 2.4.x), this file resides in /Library/Perl/5.16/Finance/Quote/Yahoo so if you put the file there (will likely require administrative privileges on your Mac), then it should work.

Yes, since Perl is cross-platform, copying this Perl source-code should work. I don’t have access to Windows or Linux systems running gnucash so I don’t know for certain where they are, but you could search for a file named USA.pm (it would likely be in a directory somewhere that ends in Finance/Quote/Yahoo). Make a backup copy of the existing USA.pm file and then copy it there.

HTH,
