Thanks for the tips.?? I ran cpan interactive as su, then installed
CPAN::DistnameInfo and Finance::Quote.?? Now running:
>>
cpan -D Finance::Quote
<<
from my regular user account reports F::Q version 1.49.
My previous list of prices still updates successfully in GnuCash 2.6.19.
I had previously limited currency price quote to 5 currencies because of the
known problem with AlphaVantage.
Perhaps I have misunderstood, but I was expecting the new version to avoid this
limitation. Instead, adding more currencies to quote results in the well-known
error message:
Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
...
Continue using only the good quotes?

Did I misunderstand?
Is there something I need to configure?

I am try to update my FInanace::Quote installation (under Ubuntu Studio
18.04) to the latest version (1.49).
First I performed:
cpan -D Finance::Quote
as recommended in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/CPAN.
It indicated that my CPAN was also out of date, so I first updated CPAN.
I then ran "upgrade Finance::Quote" from the cpan interactive prompt.??
This appears to have failed, as the cpan command above still shows F::Q
1.47
The output of the upgrade attempt was quite long and the beginning
scrolled out of the terminal window.
Unfortunately, I am too ignorant to understand most of it.?? I have
posted below the tail-end, which appear to reflect the installation of
F::Q; preceeding parts appear to deal with (equally futile) attempts to
install or upgrade other modules.
I intentionally ran cpan with normal privileges from my normal user
account becaue I have read that suprivileges should only be needed to
install or update CPAN and can otherwise be dangerous.
Must I install as su??? Is there something else I am missing here?
1. Yes, either
sudo cpan
<password>
or
su
<password>
cpan
?? You may have to su to root to install the package
?? (Or you may want to run something like
?????? o conf make_install_make_command 'sudo make'
?? to raise your permissions.?? ECOCODE/Finance-Quote-1.49.tar.gz
?? Has already been unwrapped into directory
/home/rbrooks/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.49-0
?? ECOCODE/Finance-Quote-1.49.tar.gz
:
2.
The current configuration of allow_installing_outdated_dists is
'ask/yes', but for this option we would need 'CPAN::DistnameInfo'
installed. Please install 'CPAN::DistnameInfo' as soon as possible. As
long as we are not equipped with 'CPAN::DistnameInfo' this option does
not take effect
