Price Editor broke today for unknown reasons

[Keith Myers]

Yes, that is what I meant.  The "Get Quotes" function within the Price Editor which uses the Perl Finance:Quote module.  I even when into the Security Editor and tried a couple of the other stock scrapers for some of the securities.  Whatever has happened to Yahoo has borked everything.

I presume you mean "Price Grabber" and not "Price Editor".  The *Price
Editor" itself does not use Perl or anything else -- it's a dialog that
lets you manually enter prices.  If you then click on "Get Quotes", that
launches the "Price Grabber", which does use Perl.

Apparently Yahoo is b0rked right now.
