Hi Steve,

Perl is not relevant in this context. The error is from the guile code in 
gnucash.

The (gnucash main) module no longer exists in gnucash 3.x. All relevant 
functionality has been moved elsewhere. So I wonder where the request comes 
from to load this module. Is there something like that in the custom report 
you are trying to load ?

Regards,

Geert
