Operating Systems Solaris 2 questions regarding the WGET command Post 302308544 by glen.barber on Sunday 19th of April 2009 08:12:36 AM

I guess I have to ask the question:
"Why are you getting the date from Yahoo this way? Why do you need to get the date from Yahoo, period?"

Your answer to that may lead us to get you a better(tm) way to do what you are intending.

As far as 'wget' goes, on some *NIX variants I have used, there was a --timeout=XX option. For example:
Code:
wget --timeout=30 mysite.com

would wait 30 seconds and SIGTERM.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Brasil(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Brasil(3pm)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Brasil - Fetch Brasiln stock quotes via Yahoo.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;
	   my $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   my %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_brasil","BHP"); # Use this module only.
	   my %info = $q->fetch("brasil","BHP"); # Failover with other methods.

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows information to be fetched from Yahoo abouts stocks traded on the Brasilian Stock Exchange.

       This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::Brasil"
       to Finance::Quote->new().

       This module provides both the "brasil" and "yahoo_brasil" fetch methods.  You should use the "brasil" method if you wish to allow failovers
       to other sources, and "yahoo_brasil" if you only want to obtain quotes from this module.

       Information obtained via this module is governed by Yahoo's terms and conditions, see http://br.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details.

LABELS RETURNED

       This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo, as well as the currency label.	See
       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.
