Open another terminal tab (command-T) and type 
  ps -a
at the prompt. You’ll see a list like
 PID TTY         TIME CMD
…
4889 ttys001  0:00.12 /usr/bin/perl -w t/http-nb.t
…

The number and the time will be different. Note the number and at the prompt type 
  sudo kill -HUP 4889
substituting ‘4889’ with whatever number you have for that line.

The install process in the other tab should resume and in my case Finance::Quote correctly installed. If it doesn’t, try running it one more time; you may have to “un-hang” the www-perl test at the same place in the same way. If it still doesn’t work, write back.
