First of all, your question is valid, and you can ask questions about MS Exchange in our forums, and are encouraged to do so.

Yes, these are The UNIX and Linux Forums, but that does not mean we do not welcome those who are using other operating systems.

Personally, I prefer UNIX-based mail systems because I prefer open systems to closed systems; but it would be great to see an excellent UNIX/Linux mail system with integrated calendar.

In fact, when I used to consult for many large companies, the single biggest reason they used MS Exchange was for the integrated calendar functionality. Business people like their email and their calendars tightly connected, and this has been a great success of MS Exchange (in addition to their LDAP implementation).

In closing, I would like to remind everyone that we don't simply bash Microsoft or other operating systems in these forums and it has been a long standing violation of our forum policy to do so.

Yes, MS Exchange might be "bloatware" to some; but for countless large businesses, including most of the largest organizations in the US, MS Exchange, with Calendar and LDAP integration, is the backbone of the business operations. What is important is what "users" like, not want "older system admins" (like us) think Smilie

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. SEE ALSO
