[GNC] Finance::Quote upgrade

[James Edmunds]

I tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04  . There was some file corruption which was difficult for me to fix so I wiped the hard disc clean and installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 20.04 .

Gnucash 3.8  is packaged with Ububtu 20.04.   F:Q 1.49   is included with GNC 3.8 .

I have tried and failed to install  F:Q 1.58 .

I have entered the following commands :

cpan App::cpanminus
sudo install CPAN
sudo apt-get -y install cpanminus

I then ran :
sudo cpanm Finance::Quote

This failed in many places.   Examples of the errors are :

> Working on IO::String

Please help.
