G'day PAUSE people,
I was hoping that I could register myself to use PAUSE. As
requested by www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html, here's a bit of
information about myself:
Name: Paul Jamieson Fenwick
E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Homepage: None.
Preferred UID: PJF || PFENWICK
At the present time I am planning to contribute a module to
CPAN called Finance::Quote, which provides a simple interface to
fetch a variety of stock-quotes (including NYSE, European and Australian
stocks) over the Internet.
The Finance::Quote package is derived from the Quote package
used in GnuCash <http://www.gnucash.org>. I've recently updated the
package to provide support for Australian stocks and have contacted
the other authors of the Quote package to see if they have any objections
to a CPAN release (so far everyone's been happy).
A DLSI entry for this module would be:
Name DSLI Description
-------------- ---- ------------------------------------
Finance::Quote bdpf Fetch stock prices over the Internet
Although the f has a good chance of turning into either an O or
an h -- I've become quite fond of perl's OO features.
As for public discussion of the module, there hasn't been a great
deal yet. GnuCash certainly makes use of it, as will myself and some of
my collegues. If desired I can release the source through other channels
(Freshmeat, etc) to see what the public opinion is like.
Best wishes,
Paul
