Bug Description

Finance::Quote is no longer able to retrive quotes from Yahoo (at least when it is used though Gnumeric). It works again if I edit /usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/Yahoo/USA.pm to replace
> $YAHOO_URL = ("http://finance.yahoo.com/d");
with
> $YAHOO_URL = ("http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv");

This has already been addressed upstream and in Debian:
