finance-quote error

[rosid]

Hi,

the Bloomberg perl module for F::Q should be able to get some stocks and
funds.

As I wrote here 

http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Re-No-stock-quote-for-LU1233758587-td4693298.html#none

I was able to import the Bloomberg module into f:q in Windows:

I had to edit the Bloomberg.pm file and change the following entries in the
lines 47, 49 and 51:

@price_array[0] --> $price_array[0]
@curr_array[0] --> $curr_array[0]
@date_array[0] --> $date_array[0]

After doing that I was able to successfully retrieve a quote for REMCIEE:LX
within GnuCash.

You will have to change the ticker symbol of your stocks to the bloomberg
standard (like GOOG:US) for it to work.
I tested it successfully with 5 of my funds.
