As a post-install note, the Perl's CPAN module may not be configured sanely
or configuration initialized at all. 

Normally if the CPAN's 'prerequisites_policy' setting (configured with
'follow' option), 'build_requires_install_policy' setting (with 'yes') and
'make' settings (with fully qualified path to a make that is found by search
or compatible one) are properly set then that should have installed all
pre-requisite dependencies automatically. These are the sane defaults that
gets configures with when CPAN module is initialized.

You may want to review for future updates/upgrades.

Hi James

You don't need a compiler to install Perl modules like Finance::Quote but
you do need a working "make" utility, which is normally included by default.

Some troubleshooting information here:

Hope this helps.
