Bruce,
On a related topic, yahooweb seems to be broken: stockdump.pl yahooweb AAPL
returns
$VAR1 = {
'AAPLerrormsg' => '404 Not Found',
'AAPLsuccess' => 0
};
Though https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/history/?p=AAPL in the browser
works as expected producing an HTML table with the price history.
Regards,
John Ralls
