Other than the default lineup, this module behaves identically to whichever site-specific module is first in the lineup. See below for site-specific modules.

METHODS

The basic user interface consists of several methods, as seen in the example above. Those methods are:

quotes()

Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for that date. Optionally, if non-adjusted values were requested, their will be an extra element at the end of the row for the Adjusted closing price.

dividends()

Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Date and amount of the Dividend, in that order.

splits()

Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Date, Post split shares, and Pre split shares, in that order.

source($ticker, $target)

Each of these methods displays which site-specific class actually retrieved the information, if any, for a particular ticker symbol and target such as 'quote' (default), 'dividend', or 'split'.

What's New in This Release:
The internal structure was changed to use date iterators where appropriate.
The documentation was fixed for MSN.
Various minor edge cases were fixed.
