We have https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Trouble_Shooting, and the
perl in question isn't deeply embedded in the codebase. It's a single script,
gnc-fq-helper, found in C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin. There's a companion
script gnc-fq-dump that is a little more human-friendly; gnc-fq-helper expects
scheme-like strings for input and emits the same because it's called from a
Scheme module in GnuCash.
Most likely the problem is down to one or more of your quote sources being
offline over the weekend and there's nothing wrong with your F::Q setup.
