Bruce,

Not sufficient on macOS X 10.13/perl 5.18. It still heads off to la-la land in the autoload call.

I've been salting that with print statements to try to figure out what's going on and it seems to be failing to load the AlphaVantage currency module at Quote.pm line 421: A print before that line prints and one immediately after doesn't. At line 805 `$this->{currency_rate_method}` is empty so no attempt to get quotes is made.

Also the same command works on Win 11 when formatted correctly :-)  None of the tests I ran required a valid AlphaVantage api key, a single x was all that was required.
