NAME
       Finance::Quote::ASX - Obtain quotes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

SYNOPSIS
	   use Finance::Quote;

	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("asx","BHP"); 	  # Only query ASX.
	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover to other sources OK.

DESCRIPTION
       This module obtains information from the Australian Stock Exchange http://www.asx.com.au/.  All Australian stocks and indicies are
       available.  Indexes start with the letter 'X'.  For example, the All Ordinaries is "XAO".

       This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object.  It's also possible to load it explicity by placing "ASX" in the argument list
       to Finance::Quote->new().

       This module provides both the "asx" and "australia" fetch methods.  Please use the "australia" fetch method if you wish to have failover
       with other sources for Australian stocks (such as Yahoo).  Using the "asx" method will guarantee that your information only comes from the
       Australian Stock Exchange.

       Information returned by this module is governed by the Australian Stock Exchange's terms and conditions.

LABELS RETURNED
       The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::ASX: date, bid, ask, open, high, low, last, close, p_change, volume, and price.
