I am also interested in obtaining stock quotes from the internet for use by
gnuCash. The link instructions on how to do so are not clear to me. Could
someone outline the step by step procedures to follow after downloading and
installing the recommended version of ActivePerl. What steps are then
necessary for gnuCash to use the downloaded program to obtain and utilize
stock quotes from the internet?
Thanks, Glenn
