[GNC] loading custom F::Q module from GNC

[Murugan Muruganandam]

Hi Kalpesh

I get it now.  You can think of storing the updated quote.pm and your unit in a local folder and then writing a script to copy and paste these files after you install the FQ.  it may not be fully auto, but can avoid opening the quote.pm

Hi Murugan –



I am using those steps currently (which you had outlined for me while back) and they work perfectly.



I am trying to avoid altering the install of F::Q in anyway if it was possible by wiring up in GNC that can pass the info to F::Q thus doing away with needing to update C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote folder and quote.pm module.

Kalpesh



I use a privately developed module for fetching price for  mutual funds. The prices are not directly public and so it is a localized solution.



  1.  place your <filename>.pm in the C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote folder
  2.  update the C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\quote.pm to include your module name under @Modules
  3.  After restart you should be able to see your module in the "unknown" source quote drop down

Not sure if this was your question. for me it works like a charm, only challenge is that whenever i re install or update finance quote, i have to redo this step one time

Is there a simpler way, by way of possibly configuration specification, from
GNC to utilize a privately developed F::Q module for pricing without
modifying any of the official underlying release code for F::Q?



>From reading F::Q documentation, it mentions that I can pass the privately
developed module to the Finance::Quote->new() call but that assumes that I
am instantiating in a script or something similar and have control over the
declaration which I do not for GNC.



I am hoping for something simple like put a single Perl .pm module file into
a directory, add/append some option setting in a GNC configuration file or
command line which makes it available under ‘type of quote source’ à
‘Unknown’ in the ‘Edit Security’ window to select, and then get called when
‘Get Quotes’ is pressed from ‘Price Database’.
