[GNC] Finance::Quote PreRelease 1.61_03

[Kalpesh Patel]

If you are installing it into the system installed perl, which most likely you are doing so with a su switch user utility, then correct way to do so would be to:

# sudo su -
# cd <to_untarred_source_directory>
# make depend
# make
# make test
# make install
# make clean

(space and then followed by a dash is important on the first command).

On my Linux systems, after some searching, I found that I needed:
  dnf install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMake*
to get me started.
Running perl Makefile.PL
got me several warnings of other missing perl files.
After doing a bunch of dnf install perl-... for them, 'make' and 'make test' ran But, 'make install' failed due to permission issues.
Does it need 'su' to do the install?
