Yeah, I've found that one of the philosophical differences in how to track these things seems to be that some accounting systems want you to put the bonds in as a share-per-USD relationship. And, since there is no actual universal "symbol" for EE or other bonds of the type, there are lots of user-defined encodings of the bond. I've even changed mine (I used to have a "$" sign in the symbol definitions that made handling the strings involved annoying and was, admittedly, lacking in foresight). The only true troubles I've had with this particular task have to do with Perl itself. Twice I've had to do a bit of updating of modules to get communications with the treasurydirect site to work properly. Both times I hadn't, to the best of my knowledge, done anything to alter my setup, but "suddenly" things stopped working. It's one of those things that is immensely frustrating when it stops working, but brings a great deal of satisfaction when you "fix" it, eventually. Either way, glad the code was of use to you. Now if only I could work out all the intricacies of using Perl to get me quotes from my 401(k) for ESOP funds...
