Mission accomplished! Thanks for all of the advice/help. I have a clean install of v5.6 with my financial data imported and a new install of Strawberry Perl. A new installation of Finance::Quote has cleared up whatever corrupted the price database and the online quote fetching process. Everything seems to work now. Thanks again for the assistance.
