I was afraid you'd say something like that.  Lets step back one and just
test the utility scripts that gnucash uses to get quotes without
actually running gnucash.  What do you get from:

	gnc-fq-dump yahoo CSCO

and

	echo '(yahoo "CSCO")' | gnc-fq-helper

I suspect the first one will succeed, and the second one will fail with
complaints of a missing perl module.  That's what happened to me the
other night while attempting to reproduce your program on another
system.
