David, I'm not sure which item you're referring to, so I'll say a bit about each: (1) As far as I can figure, if I want to add a quote source, like US EE/E/I savings bonds, I have to write my own Perl code to get it done. The existing Finance::Quote modules just don't work, or at least not when I tried to use them. To add a quote source, I needed to modify the Quote.pm code to add the name of my new routine. I don't really see any way around doing a bit of Perl stuff. I didn't want to have to do this, and had to learn the rudiments of the language to do so. (2) Setting the symbols for the bonds was just a matter of my personal preferences. Hopefully they're logical and easy to remember, but probably not what someone else would come up with off the cuff. (3) My troubles with connecting with the treasurydirect.gov site are a bit of a mystery to me, and the so-called "solutions" were somewhat experimental, involving a lot of "error message text" searches. Each time it seemed that some module or program (openssl, the last time) had suddenly become outdated and insufficient. I understand that we'd not want the average user fiddling about with Perl code, but could something like the quote setup code be used to "install" bond quote accessing code "automatically"? Might be a bit messy...
