Description Chris Good 2015-07-26 05:49:28 UTC 
After installing Finance::Quote 1.37 on Windows 10:

In a command window:
cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin
echo (yahoo "AMZN") | perl -w gnc-fq-helper
WARNING: the TZ Date::Manip config variable is deprecated
         and will be removed in March 2016.  Please use
         the SetDate or ForceDate config variables instead.
(("AMZN" (symbol . "AMZN") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2015-07-24 16:00:00") (last . 529.42) (currency . "USD")))

Does anyone know if Strawberry perl have any plans to fix Date::Manip?
I'll follow this up with Erik Colson <eco@ecocode.net> if I don't hear this is already being handled soon.

Strawberry perl just wraps stuff up for Windows. All of Perl's module is done in CPAN, and the Date::Manip project's page is http://search.cpan.org/~sbeck/Date-Manip-6.50/lib/Date/Manip.pod. The maintainer is Sullivan Beck. Erik Colson maintains Finance::Quote.

None of which has much to do with the problem at hand: The offending use of the TZ variable is in gnc-fq-helper. I don't get the warning on my Mac after updating Date::Manip, but it should be an easy fix to initialize D::M according to the current docs.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
