I clicked the "Install Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash" in my new

ZSTD. Shouldn't it run more unattended?
It should. Since I don't primarily use Windows, I'm wondering if
Strawberry Perl changed the default setting for "use_prompt_default [0]"
in the CPAN settings. While the Makefile for F::Q does not have a
prompt, there are dependencies (and dependencies of dependencies) that
prompt for user input. On a fresh install of Strawberry Perl I noticed
that launching CPAN for the first time on a Windows 10 system did not go
through the first time initialization process.
Setting PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT to "yes" before running CPAN will allow the
Finance::Quote install to continue without needing user input. At least
it did for me on Windows 10. I'm thinking the GnuCash team may want to
set this in the tool that installs Strawberry Perl and F::Q for Windows.
Probably would not hurt on Linux and Mac either.
