Ok, I found a solution, helped by Geoff, which I describe here in case it
is of any use to others.
Note: This solution is relevant to the Flatpak distribution of Gnucash on
Linux.
So, Geoff rightly pointed out that my command line quotes were working
using my system version of Perl, not the
Hi Richard
If you trawl through the mailing lists you might find some flatpak
related solutions.
For example "gnucash finance quote not installed properly":-

Apologies for the spam - just trying to make the necessary info visible.
So I have found a separate perl executable bundled with the Flatpak
installation. The issue now appears to be that I can't run the update
script with it as these executables are designed to be run independently of
Flatpak.
As a note, it might be relevant that I am using a Flatpak distribution of
Gnucash, possibly explaining the "two versions" situation. Running the
Flatpak from the command line confirms that it is detecting Finance::Quotes
v1.49 even though the command line version I am using is v1.51.

Hi Geoff,
Yes, I see, that would explain the behaviour.
I followed your advice and upgraded with that script to v 1.51.
Unfortunately, that hasn't solved the issue, and the version reported in
Help->About in Gnucash remains at 1.49, aligning with your suggestion that
two versions are acting
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later one is seen by your command line scripts and the earlier (out of
date) one is seen by your GnuCash GUI.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
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
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.

Hi All,
I'm having some trouble fetching online quotes for Australian stocks in
Gnucash.
My versions are:
Gnucash Version: 4.11
Build ID: Flathub 4.11
Finance::Quote: 1.49
running on Linux.
Every other security price fetch seems to work fine. For instance, this
