| Oddly enough I received the following error messages

| Use of uninitialized value $b[2] in join or string at
/usr/share/perl5/Finance/YahooQuote.pm line 88.

Yes, that is the 'Yahoo for daily data problem'. The code I have here has a
an alternative to Yahoo! for _historical_ data, which is different (as it
applies to 'fxbackpopulate' only.
We can the --ubcfx option which uses the service at the Univ of British
Columbia in Vancouver. So also try
beancounter --ubcfx --extrafx SEK update

Ok. Yahoo! does create warnings. We may need to think about a new source for
FX.
