NAME

       Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada - Obtain stock and mutual fund prices from finance.canada.com

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;

	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   # Can failover to other methods
	   %quotes = $q->fetch("canada", "stock_fund-code");

	   # Use this module only
	   %quotes = $q->fetch("financecanada", "stock_fund-code");

DESCRIPTION

       This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds from finanace.canada.com.	The information source "canada" can be
       used if the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to specifically use finance.canada.com.

STOCK_FUND-CODE
       Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier.  This module uses the symbols as used on finance.canada.com.  The
       simplest way to fetch the ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to finance.canada.com, search for your particular stock or mutual fund,
       and note the symbol ID.	This is helpfully provided by the site in their returned HTML quote.

LABELS RETURNED

       Information available from financecanada may include the following labels:

       method source name symbol currency date nav last price

Finance::Quote::TSX(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Finance::Quote::TSX(3)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::TSX - Obtain quotes from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;

	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("tsx","NT-T");	 # Only query TSX.
	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("canada","NT");  # Failover to other sources OK.

DESCRIPTION

       This module obtains information from the Toronto Stock Exchange through the page http://www.TMXmoney.com/.

       This module is not loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object.  It's possible to load it explicity by placing "TSX" in the argument list
       to Finance::Quote->new().

       This module provides both the "tsx" and "toronto" fetch methods.  Please use the "canada" fetch method if you wish to have failover with
       other sources for Canadian stocks.  Using the "tsx" method will guarantee that your information only comes from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

LABELS RETURNED

       The following labels are returned by Finance::Quote::TSX: name, last, net, p_change, volume and exchange.

       This module returns less information (labels) than other sources but it's able to retrieve them faster because each HTTP request performed
       can return up to 10 stocks. Thus, if the labels provided by this module are sufficient for your application then you should give it a try.
