Just a quick follow up for anybody searching or interested in a solution. I was able to get the Bloomberg quote to work with GnuCash on Windows 10. I had to edit the Bloomberg.pm file and change the following entries in the lines 47, 49 and 51:
@price_array[0] --> $price_array[0] @curr_array[0] --> $curr_array[0] @date_array[0] --> $date_array[0] After doing that I was able to successfully retrieve a quote for REMCIEE:LX within GnuCash.
