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. SEE ALSO
