Thank you John for your patience! Back to my quotes, there is still an 
error message when trying to retrieve quotes from within gnucash....

Shame on me, it is working now. When it initially failed I tried a few 
things before writing, and one thing I did was comment out the use 
Date::Manip trying to provoke a different error message. Obviously 
installing Date::Manip manually doesn't remove the comment :-(

Sorry for all the noise, installing Date::Manip by calling install 
Date::Manip in the cpan client did solve the issue.
