[GNC] Online price retrieval

Well, I've made a little progress.  It turns out that I was not aware of the fact that you can't just searchfor cpan client or some such, you have to click on the windows Icon, then all programs, blah, blah....and that cpan client is stored under a tools subdirectory. Once there, the command install date::Manip seemed to work without errors. However, install Finance::Quote did not do so.  I am attaching a sheet that shows a scan of thelast screen of the installation procedure, and the result of a command that supposedly gives a clueas to what the error is.  Unfortunately, the codes cited mean nothing to me as such.  I hopewhoever is in charge of updating cpan will consider at some time including a command thatwill redirect all output to a discrete file, which would make finding this kind of error much easier. Thanks to all who have tried to help. Joe D.

Yes, it should work on Win7.

Look in the Start Menu for a folder named Strawberry Perl. If it's there then open it and pick "CPAN Client". You'll get a terminal window with a cpan>prompt. Tell it:

  install Date::Manip

and if that completes without errors

  install Finance::Quote

If they both complete successfully online quotes should work inside of GnuCash. If either fails or if the Strawberry folder is missing come back with details.
