Quotable Homer quotes project consists of Homer Simpson quotes for `fortune`.
In 1999, Fox published a one-a-day calendar of Homer Simpson quotes. On the back of each page was the name of the episode from the quote came, providing us fanatics with some fun trivia.
At some point, I decided that itd be nice to have all of those quotes in a file parsable by `fortune`. So, you get what we have here.
Installing:
Simply place the files `homer and `homer.dat into same the directory as the other fortune files.
Usually, this is (on GNU/Linux) `/usr/share/games/fortunes.
If, for some reason, youd rather not get homer quotes, simply delete the file `homer.dat.
At any later date, you may run `strfile homer` and the .dat file will be recreated. Could it be any easier?
Enhancements:
- this is now released under a license.

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.

Finance::YahooQuote is a Perl module that can get stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::YahooQuote;
# setting TIMEOUT and PROXY is optional
$Finance::YahooQuote::TIMEOUT = 60;
$Finance::YahooQuote::PROXY = "http://some.where.net:8080";
@quote = getonequote $symbol; # Get a quote for a single symbol
@quotes = getquote @symbols; # Get quotes for a bunch of symbols
useExtendedQueryFormat(); # switch to extended query format
useRealtimeQueryFormat(); # switch to real-time query format
@quotes = getquote @symbols; # Get quotes for a bunch of symbols
@quotes = getcustomquote(["DELL","IBM"], # using custom format
["Name","Book Value"]); # note array refs

This module gets stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance. The getonequote function will return a quote for a single stock symbol, while the getquote function will return a quote for each of the stock symbols passed to it. getcustomquote allows to specify a format other than the default to take advantage of the extended range of available information.

The download operation is efficient: only one request is made even if several symbols are requested at once. The return value of getonequote is an array, with the following elements:

0 Symbol
1 Company Name
2 Last Price
3 Last Trade Date
4 Last Trade Time
5 Change
6 Percent Change
7 Volume
8 Average Daily Vol
9 Bid
10 Ask
11 Previous Close
12 Todays Open
13 Days Range
14 52-Week Range
15 Earnings per Share
16 P/E Ratio
17 Dividend Pay Date
18 Dividend per Share
19 Dividend Yield
20 Market Capitalization
21 Stock Exchange

If the extended format has been selected, the following fields are also retrieved:

22 Short ratio
23 1yr Target Price
24 EPS Est. Current Yr
25 EPS Est. Next Year
26 EPS Est. Next Quarter
27 Price/EPS Est. Current Yr
28 Price/EPS Est. Next Yr
29 PEG Ratio
30 Book Value
31 Price/Book
32 Price/Sales
33 EBITDA
34 50-day Moving Avg
35 200-day Moving Avg
If the real-time format has been selected, the following fields are also retrieved:
36 Ask (real-time)
37 Bid (real-time)
38 Change in Percent (real-time)
39 Last trade with time (real-time)
40 Change (real-time)
41 Day range (real-time)
42 Market-cap (real-time)

The getquote function returns an array of pointers to arrays with the above structure.
The getonequote function returns just one quote, rather than an array. It returns a simple array of values for the given symbol.

The setQueryString permits to supply a new query string that will be used for subsequent data requests.

The useExtendedQueryFormat and useRealtimeQueryFormat are simpler interfaces which append symbols to the default quote string, as detailed above.

The getcustomquote returns an array of quotes corresponding to values for the symbols supplied in the first array reference, and the custom fields supplied in the second array reference. Here the custom fields correspond to the named fields of the list below.

Beyond stock quotes, Finance::YahooQuote can also obtain quotes for currencies (from the Philadephia exchange -- however Yahoo! appears to have stopped to support the currency symbols in a reliable manner), US mutual funds, options on US stocks, several precious metals and quite possibly more; see the Yahoo! Finance website for full information. Finance::YahooQuote can be used for stocks from the USA, Canada, various European exchanges, various Asian exchanges (Singapore, Taiwan, HongKong, Kuala Lumpur, ...) Australia and New Zealand. It should work for other markets supported by Yahoo.

You may optionally override the default LWP timeout of 180 seconds by setting $Finance::YahooQuote::TIMEOUT to your preferred value.

You may also provide a proxy (for the required http connection) by using the variable $Finance::YahooQuote::PROXY. Furthermore, authentication-based proxies can be used by setting the proxy user and password via the variables $Finance::YahooQuote::PROXYUSER and $Finance::YahooQuote::PROXYPASSWD.

Two example scripts are provided to help with the mapping a stock symbols as well as with Yahoo! Finance server codes. The regression tests scripts in the t/ subdirectory of the source distribution also contain simple examples.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA is a Perl module to obtain information about stocks and funds in the USA and Canada.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI");

This method provides access to financial information from a number of exhcanges in the United States and Canada. The following methods are available:

canada
usa
yahoo
nyse
nasdaq
vanguard
fidelity

These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be considered somewhat interchangable. However, the method "yahoo" should be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source that Yahoo tracks.

This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::USA" to Finance::Quote->new().

Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoos terms and conditions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information.

LABELS RETURNED

This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as well as the currency label. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.

BUGS

Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the United States and Canada. For example, it is possible to request a stock using the "NYSE" method and still obtain data even if that stock does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange.
