Finance::YahooQuote is a Perl 5 module that will pull one or more stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance. It was written by Dj Padzensky, and is now maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel. See the files CHANGES.old for DJ's log of changes, and ChangeLog for changes since Dirk took over.
The package is also available from CPAN via this page.
Once the archive has been unpacked, the following steps are needed to build and install the module (to be done in the directory which contains the Makefile.PL)
perl Makefile.PL
make
A few simple tests are provided. Please note that the second test may fail if your internet connection is down, requires a proxy or if Yahoo! is down. That said,
make test
can be used to test the integrity of the module prior to installation.
If the build and test succeed, install it with the following command:
make install
An example script is installed as yahooquote. Two more example scripts
are include to help examine available services at different Yahoo! servers,
and to examine the possible mapping between stock symbols for a given
company.
For Debian and derivatives such as Ubuntu, a package is available via
sudo apt-get install libfinance-yahooquote-perl
For Windows users, ActiveState does maintain a pre-build package that can be installed with their ppm tool
The package is in maintenance mode. Bugs are being fixed, but additions of new functionality are unlikely.
