> So it looks like the problem is not Finance::Quote at all - instead, it's getting hung up on Date::Manip because it can't find ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and the install of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is what's hanging.  However, I do indeed have MakeMaker installed:

Not being able to find a module should error out immediately, not hang. Let it hang again and either attach the process in lldb or use Activity Montitor's Spindump facility to see what it's really doing.
