Hi Richard
Yes, that is confusing. It is possible that this discrepancy in
behaviour may be due to you having two instances of Perl installed - the
later one is seen by your command line scripts and the earlier (out of
date) one is seen by your GnuCash GUI. I make this suggestion as I
recall seeing other GnuCash problems being reported due to this. I am
mainly a Windows user so I can't really help you to trouble shoot.
Anyway, to upgrade, you can try the "gnc-fq-update" Perl script, which
should get the latest version (1.51) from CPAN:
https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote
Finally, I have attached a screenshot of my setup to retrieve prices for
ASX securities.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for this.
I am little bit confused though, the command line perl scripts I am
using with the ASX as a source work fine. But moreover, they work when I
use *different* sources (e.g. yahoo as JSON), but then they don't work
in gnucash itself - I.e. the issue is there when I specifically avoid
the ASX as a source. Or have I missed something?
If I do have to update that module do you have any links or similar you
could point me to?
Thanks,
R.

Hi Richard
The ASX did a major web upgrade back in 2020 that broke Version 1.49 of
Finance::Quote. If you want to use the ASX as your data source for
Australian listed securities then you will need to upgrade that Perl
module.
