[GNC] Finance quote troubleshooting

[John Ralls]

Dear Mr. Vyrides,

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

Try testing Finance::Quote directly:

set ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<your key>
perl c:\strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.49-0\Examples\currency-lookup.pl GBP EUR

If that fails, try 
perl c:\strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.49-0\Examples\stockdump.pl alphavantage CSCO
to make sure that you can successfully query alphavantage.

Regards,
John Ralls
