[GNC] Price quotes

[Kalpesh Patel]

sudo should NOT be used to install perl modules at all (no elevated permissions are required in any platform). 

apt is an Ubuntu OS package manager; CPAN is a perl module manager which amongst many packages might be installed using the OS package manager. If you upgrade the perl version then you will have to install the F::Q module in that new version as well and has no relation with future apt updates. They are two different and independent work flows.

Thank you for the F::Q update method. On Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS, would this need to be run with sudo, and would future apt updates be affected?
