Finance::Quote::ASX 1.12

Finance::Quote::ASX is a Perl module that can obtain quotes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%stockinfo = $q->fetch("asx","BHP"); # Only query ASX.
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover to other sources OK.

This module obtains information from the Australian Stock Exchange http://www.asx.com.au/. All Australian stocks and indicies are available. Indexes start with the letter X. For example, the All Ordinaries is "XAO".

This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. Its also possible to load it explicity by placing "ASX" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new().
This module provides both the "asx" and "australia" fetch methods. Please use the "australia" fetch method if you wish to have failover with other sources for Australian stocks (such as Yahoo). Using the "asx" method will guarantee that your information only comes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

Information returned by this module is governed by the Australian Stock Exchanges terms and conditions.
