I have somewhat good news. I did some testing with Date::Manip without 
creating a config file. The Date_PrevWorkDay method does skip weekends 
properly as long the $offset is set to 1 when called on Sat/Sun.

I can replace Date::Business with Date::Manip in YahooWeb. At the very 
least it will skip back over weekends for all quotes, and not create 
issues during Date::Business install requiring for user input. We lose 
holiday calculations, but for an "emergency" use module, better than 
nothing.

Again, not optimal, but better than the original version where the trade 
date would be set to "today" regardless of what day F::Q was executed.

Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads.
