Finance::Quote::ASX - Obtain quotes from the Australian Stock Exchange.
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/. Data for all Australian listed securities and indices
is available. Indexes start with the letter 'X'. For example, the
All Ordinaries is ``XAO''. But some securities also start with the letter 'X'.
This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. It's
also possible to load it explicitly 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 Exchange's terms and conditions.
The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::ASX:
bid, offer, open, high, low, last, net, p_change, volume,
and price.
