problem for getting on-line quote

[Stephen Ni]

Hi Erik and John:
   Here is what I have tried
1)  uninstall ActiveState perl and then run "Install Online Quote Retrieval".  However, instead of installing Strawberry perl, it complains that it can not find a perl installation and exited
2) I tried to download Activestate Perl 5.14 by going to their website.  But it seems that since it is not the latest version, it is not free and I have to pay for it.  Do you know if there is another place online where it offers 5.14 download for free?

thanks

Stephen

Hello,

ActiveState Perl 5.16 needs a change which ActiveState will probably do
in a few days (they have a pretty high workload for now).
As for now you should install version 5.14. Take a look at this link to
check which version of F::Q is currently packaged for different
ActiveState Perl versions.
