Price quote retrieval not working

[Holtug]

Hi,

 

When trying to retrieve the price quotes, the perl window comes up, but
nothing happens for 20 minutes or so (just a blank console window). Finally
it pops up a dialog saying it was unable to retrieve the quotes and whether
to continue with just currencies - which it actually does, but it assigns
the value of the Yen to GBP (and some of the other rates are suspect as
well).

 

However, if running gnc-fq-dump it seems to be working just fine. See below.

 

c:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump usa BLL

Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:

    symbol: BLL                  <=== required

      date: 03/28/2013           <=== required

  currency: USD                  <=== required

      last: 47.58                <=\

       nav:                      <=== one of these

     price: 47.58                <=/

  timezone:                      <=== optional

 

 

It used to work just fine, but around the 8 march it stopped. It seems to be
some sort of coms problem between GnuCash and Finance:Quote, since Perl and
the gnc-fq-dump script both work fine.

 

Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it?
