Finance-Quote-Grab extends Finance::Quote to fetch quotes from

• MLC Funds
• Reserve Bank of Australia

Quotes can be viewed in your favourite Finance::Quote program.

The prerequisites are

• Finance::Quote
• HTML::TableExtract (which Finance::Quote needs anyway)
• LWP version 5.814 or higher

The Finance-Quote-Grab home page is

http://user42.tuxfamily.org/finance-quote-grab/index.html

The Finance::Quote home page is

http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net

To make add-on F-Q modules available you generally have to add them to the module loads in your Finance::Quote->new call. For example to get the defaults plus MLC,

my $quoter = Finance::Quote->new ('-defaults', 'MLC');

You can also set the environment variable FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET like

FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET="-defaults MLC"
export FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET

FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET is used by new() calls with no arguments. Setting it may be the easiest way to get new modules into an F-Q program. For example with the Examples/chkshares.pl script provided by F-Q,

FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET="RBA" ./chkshares.pl rba AUDUSD
