Is this a bug, or just my mistake

I wrote a short Perl script to get me a quote for an oddball fund in my
401(k). The script was working okay, so I installed it in the proper
Finance::Quote file, and got it working okay.
I tried it out with "gnc-fq-dump" and things looked good.
However, trying to use it within Gnucash not only didn't work, it errored
out and prevented the program from getting all my other quotes, like yahoo,
etc.
I looked into the code and found that I'd inadvertantly forgotten to turn
off a debugging "print" statement and that was what was killing things.
I'm assuming Gnucash parses the data spit back from its own or the same
"fq-dump" routine, and couldn't handle my improperly formatted debugging
gibberish? Is my understanding of the mechanisms behind the quote retreival
process correct?
