NAME

       Finance::Quote::ASX - Obtain quotes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

SYNOPSIS

           use Finance::Quote;

           $q = Finance::Quote->new;

           %stockinfo = $q->fetch("asx","BHP");           # Only query ASX.
           %stockinfo = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover to other sources OK.

DESCRIPTION

       This module obtains information from the Australian Stock Exchange http://www.asx.com.au/.
       All Australian stocks and indicies are available.  Indexes start with the letter 'X'.  For
       example, the All Ordinaries is "XAO".

       This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object.  It's also possible to load
       it explicitly by placing "ASX" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new().

       This module provides both the "asx" and "australia" fetch methods.  Please use the
       "australia" fetch method if you wish to have failover with other sources for Australian
       stocks (such as Yahoo).  Using the "asx" method will guarantee that your information only
       comes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

       Information returned by this module is governed by the Australian Stock Exchange's terms
       and conditions.

LABELS RETURNED

       The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::ASX: date, bid, ask, open, high,
       low, last, close, p_change, volume, net and price.
