I ran  FinanceQuote Update.app initially without Xcode installed, and accepted all the default questions in Terminal, but got an error when it tried to load the program. I don't know much about command-line programming, but I got the  message below after running the program and entering my system password. Would you be able to help?

Yes, but please use the list so that others may benefit and contribute.

Mavericks will install the command line tools for you when you try to use them, so it's not necessary to install Xcode first they way it is on older versions of OSX.

Looks to me like the mailrc might have gotten corrupted. It just worked OK for me:

Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes]
Fetching with LWP:
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Reading '/Users/john/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz'
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.048)

So the problem has been fixed at the main repo. It might take a while for it to propagate out to the mirrors. If you want, you can run
  cpan[1]> o conf urllist http://www.perl.org/
to use the main repo, or you can select a different mirror URI from http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html
