How to add perl module using CPAN on macosx 10.5.8

[netrookie]

I want to add and use a perl module called Finance::Quote using CPAN.

This is the first module that I had tried to add using CPAN.

I am doing this on my mac book pro that is running perl version 5.8 on mac osx (10.5.8, 2.4Ghz Intel Dual Core 2 Duo)

I am getting the following errors, try to run this test script:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# import module
use Finance::Quote;

# create object
my $q = Finance::Quote->new();

# retrieve stock quote
my %data = $q->fetch('nyse', 'XYZ');

# print price
print "The current price of XYZ on the NYSE is " . $data{'XYZ', 'price'};


Screen output error msg:
./perltestfin.pl
Can't locate Finance/Quote.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at ./perltestfin.pl line 4.

What do I need to do to configure this properly? Thanks!

Have you actually downloaded, built and installed that module?

You can try to do this automatically through the cpan install Finance::Quote command provided it is configured and your system has access to the 'net to download the files reuqired.

Or you can go to

http://www.cpan.org/modules/index.html,

locate, download and install the module manually. There are generic instructions on the site.
