Microsoft Excel has the ability to import data via a web query. If I create a query and run it on the following URL, a table with stock price information will be displayed on an Excel worksheet. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EIXIC+%5EDJI+RHAT++&d=v1 If I run the query again the next day the data will be updated in the same cell locations. Thus I can collect this data over a period of time and create a chart using the chart feature of MS Excel. Now to the Perl/CGI question. What techniques and functions would I use in Perl to retrieve data from the above URL and save to a comma delimited data file? Thanks Craig
