Why not put the list of tickers in a separate file?

url s1 suf
url s1 suf
... etc

Code:
while read url s1 suf blah; do
 url="http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=  suf=&d=5&e=9&f=2009&g=d&a=1&b=4&c=1999&ignore=.csv"
  wget $url$s1$suf;
  sleep 10;
  cat header.txt > $s1.txt;
  chmod 777 $s1.txt;
  sed '1d' table.csv?s\=$s1 >> $s1.txt;
done < tickers.txt
rm -Rf table*

finance::quote::yahoo::nz

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

NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::NZ - Fetch nzn stock quotes via Yahoo.

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows information to be fetched from Yahoo about stocks traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.  Information about indexes
       is not available through this module.

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

       This module provides only the "yahoo_nz" fetch methods. The author (stephen@vital.org.nz) will write a module to access the NZX site if
       asked nicely.

       Information obtained via this module is governed by Yahoo's terms and conditions, see http://au.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.
