[GNC] Security pricing sources

[Murugan Muruganandam]

David

you can find the YahooJSON file in the following path in Windows. as David H had earlier clarified, make the file readable and then make the change for V7 to V6.  i have attached a sample file

C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\YahooJSON.pm

I forgot to qualify my comment with the fact that I do not know how to find
and edit that YahooJSON.pm file in Windows 10 or 11.
