Hi figaro,

That is a good idea.

We are not yet ready for the "real economy" as the system need to mature. There is no basis to provide value between Bits and real currency at this time and would need considerable more work and participation to establish the Bit as a cyber currency.

We only released the Bit as a virtual currency a few days ago Smilie

NAME
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Asia - Fetch quotes from Yahoo Asia SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote; $q = Finance::Quote->new; %info = $q->fetch("asia","CREA.SI"); # Failover to other methods ok. %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_asia","CREA.SI"); # Use this module only. DESCRIPTION
This module fetches information from Yahoo Asia. Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is one of the following: SI - Singapore BO - Bombay JK - Jakarta HK - Hong Kong NS - India KS - Korea KL - Kuala Lumpur NZ - New Zealand SS - Shanghai SZ - Shenzhen TW - Taiwan TH - Thailand This module provides both the "asia" and "yahoo_asia" methods. The "asia" method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The "yahoo_asia" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe. Stocks are returned in the currency of the local exchange. You can use Finance::Quote's set_currency() feature to change the currency in which information is returned. This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Asia" to Finance::Quote->new(). Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details. LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these. The currency label is also returned. BUGS
The currency of each exchange has not been thoroughly confirmed. If you find an exchange is returning in an incorrect exchange, please use the bug tool at http://sourceforge.net/projects/finance-quote to report it. SEE ALSO
