Hi Geoff,

I seem to have partly solved my problem. Following up on a comment from 
Bill and your interest in the version of Perl I was running, I chased up 
a recent version of Strawberry Perl.

I got v5.32.0 64bit and installed that. It still thought I had the older 
32bit installed so I tried uninstalling that. This broke the 64bit 
install, so I repaired it and then ran the "Install Online Price 
Retrieval for GnuCash" option on the Windows GnuCash menu. This got the 
standard installation back. I then followed your original instructions 
about replacing ASX.pm and ran your check as follows:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin"
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin> perl gnc-fq-dump ASX BHP
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
     symbol: BHP                  <=== required
       date: 10/15/2020           <=== recommended
   currency: AUD                  <=== required
       last: 36.77                <=\
        nav:                      <=== one of these
      price: 36.77                <=/
   timezone:                      <=== optional
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>

I then tried running "Get Quotes" from inside GnuCash and it seems to 
have partly worked. Some of my ASX stocks are still not retrieving but 
others are. I will investigate using gnc-fq-dump and report back.

Thanks for your help,

John Bonnett
