I am not a GnuCash expert, so please forgive me for any inaccuracy in what follows...
As you can see in the GnuCash Manual, Finance::Quote requires Perl (or ActivePerl) already installed on the host PC, and requires to be installed itself. This excludes, at this moment, to use Finance::Quote with X-GnuCash in a portable environment. There are some portable Perl versions, but I have not tested them, so I cannot said if they could help...
Surely the GnuCash Team is the best source for give you all needed informations for performing the job. Good luck!

Best Regards

It is no problem to get a portable version of Perl installed. The real
problem is how to tell X-GnuCash the path where Perl could be found.
There should be a flexible way to define this path, e.g. by using an ini-file.
Is there a way to define the (relative) path to Perl ?

Hi cashuser,
as a quick hint, you can put the Perl path in the DOS environment and then run the predefined script


X-GnuCash-folder-where-you-installed\Bin\gnucash\bin\install-fq-mods.bat

For running Finance::Quote from within X-Gnucash, please refer to the Finance::Quote and GnuCash manuals.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
