This could be the end of the road. The ASX web site and its APIs are
now protected by Imperva's Incapsula software. From my limited research
it is extremely difficult to bypass this using tools like
Finance::Quote, at least without using a commercial solution.
Why is it so difficult? Good explanations here:

I'll have a play using Selenium (there's a Perl client) but I am not
optimistic.
Any other suggestions most welcome.
Thanks

I know we have a number of Australians here who have stock traded on the
Australian Stock Exchange and use Finance::Quote. Bruce called my attention
today to https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/404 and that he
intends to remove the ASX module from the next release. If any of you have the
perl chops to take on finding a solution, now is the time.
