[GNC] "Get Quotes" from the price database feedback

[Kalpesh Patel]

Hi Geoff -

Appreciate that pointer. 

I am familiar with that post but I consider that out-of-band way of getting quotes -- not ideal. I have a Python script that does that way but more so I was more like interested in understanding how the "Get Quotes" ties with the Perl scripts and wanted to see if I can make changes to the Perl script to possibly download say last 5 days of quotes so that I do not have to go through multiple work flows to get that data nor do I need to fire up GNC (no offense; it is a great software) on daily basis.
