Problem with home-made Finance::Quote script

[Fredrik Persson]

I don't understand. Do you mean a time like in 5:45PM, or a date such as
2008-11-04? How do I have finance-quote ask for this? I've stolen most
of the code from the script SEB.pm, included in finance-quote module. My
script does everything almost exactly the same. Still it doesn't work.

I've noticed that when I try to use it under gnucash, I find it not
under "Get Online Quotes -> Single" combobox, but under "Get Online
Quotes -> Unknown" in the "Edit Security" dialog box. What does this
mean? 

I've tried this exact perl script under gnucash 2.2.7 on Windows, and it
works perfectly. It does not, however, work under Ubuntu and gnucash
2.2.6.

Where in the gnucash code does the rejection of my quote happen?

Thanks!
