Error in financequote.pl

Hi Jack

kmymoney 5.2.1

I have just checked the perl script financequote.pl from the tar 
download which has
my $prgnam = "kmymoneyfq.pl";
my $version = "1.00";

While the appimage financequote.pl has
my $prgnam = "financequote.pl";
my $version = "1.1";

In the appimage (all versions), there have been a few changes.
In line 92     if ($usdate != "") {
it should be f ($usdate ne "") {

That is the one error. The other is in the code that calls 
financequote.pl from main kmymoney.
There is still some ( debug) code active and its causing problems.

Hope this helps.
Regard
