[GNC] Finance::Quote on a Mac with a foreign perl

[john]

Adrien,

@INC is the perl internal variable containing the search paths for locating included modules. I used that as a proxy for a modicum of expertise with managing a perl configuration. I wouldn't suggest that you go learn perl just to help with this problem.

Regards,
John Ralls

>> We need some simple instructions for the wiki for how to work around the problem so that gnc-fq-update uses the system perl (that's after all the only one the app bundle can see, it doesn't read the user's shell environment) and gets the dependencies from /System/Library/Perl instead of trying to build them.
