The result is a "real" CSV file, with no html tags inside. You can get
it manually from
<https://www.union-investment.de/fonds_depot/fonds-finden/preise-berechnen#HistorischeTagespreise>
after selcting the funds from the right side. The URL used in perl makes
this selection, as well as date and decimal separator.

Inside KMM, you see the command line that KMM started, using
financequote.pl unionfunds ISIN

Yes, they are rearranged, but I checked that. It works on the command
line and inside GnuCash, reurning the right values. In financequote.pl,
there is a disabled print option to dump all returned values, and they
look ok.

I don't use KMM4 anymore, but it is still on my Windows machine. In this
case, it returns the same behaviour as KMM 5. I guess the code around FQ
has not been changed.
