[GNC] Online price retrieval

[Fross, Michael]

Hello. I just had to reinstall strawberry Perl on windows 10. I just
downloaded the 64 bit version and installed it.  Then make sure both it’s
perl/bin and the c/bin directories are in your path. I had to add the c/bin
manually. Without it cpan was unable to build correctly.

After I installed Date::Manip and Finance::Quote GC was able to down my
quotes per usual. I use yahoo-Json as my quote source.
