Well, I've been on a merry little chase for various Perl modules.  So
far, I've downloaded and installed:

  HTML-Parser-3.13
  HTML-Tagset
  MIME-Base64-2.11
  URI-1.09
  perl-libwww-perl-5.43-2.i386.rpm

After each one I get a little bit closer, but not quite all the way
there.

I *did* do that; sorry I didn't make that clear in my earlier message.

In addition to installing all the modules listed above, I've added the
following to be beginning of /usr/local/bin/gnc-prices:

	# Added [jlc:20001117.0035CST]
	use lib '/usr/share/gnucash/perl';
	use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl';

The /usr/share/gnucash/perl is necessary to pick up "gnucash.pm".  The
gnucash-1.4.8-1 "i386" rpm installs that file in
/usr/share/gnucash/perl.  I'm curious as to how Dave was able to get it
running without adding a "use" for this directory to gnc-prices?

Anyway, when I now run gnc-prices, I get the following:

nogates 86> gnc-prices ~/test.xac 
Can't locate loadable object for module gnucash in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/gnucash/perl /usr/local/share/gnucash/perl

So, where can I find the "loadable object for module gnucash"?
