Hi John,

Thanks for your reply.

Shortly after sending the OP I did a bit more digging.  I'm not
familiar enough with Perl to write it, but I know enough to be able to
work out what is going on.  I looked through the code for yahoo and
found that exact symptom.

I agree.  It is a bug with Yahoo.  My apologies for bothering everyone
on the mailing list!

Unfortunately for me it looks like none of the content providers for
Finance::Quote work with UK funds.  Shame.

Thanks for your help!

Steve.
