NAME

       Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo::Australia - Site-specific subclass for retrieving historical stock quotes.

SYNOPSIS

         use Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo::Australia;
         $q = Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo::Australia->new(
           symbols    => [qw(BHP.AX)],
           start_date => '01/01/1999',
           end_date   => 'today',
         );

         # Values
         foreach $row ($q->quotes()) {
           ($symbol, $date, $open, $high, $low, $close, $volume) = @$row;
           ...
         }

         # Splits
         foreach $row ($q->splits()) {
            ($symbol, $date, $post, $pre) = @$row;
         }

         # Dividends
         foreach $row ($q->dividends()) {
            ($symbol, $date, $dividend) = @$row;
         }

DESCRIPTION

       Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo::Australia is a subclass of Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo, specifically tailored to
       read historical quotes, dividends, and splits from the Yahoo Australia web site
       (http://au.finance.yahoo.com/).

       Please see Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo(3) for more details on usage and available methods. If you just want
       to get historical quotes and are not interested in the details of how it is done, check out
       Finance::QuoteHist(3).

METHODS

       The basic user interface consists of three methods, as seen in the example above. Those methods are:

       quotes()
           Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each
           row contains the Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for that date.

       dividends()
           Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each
           row contains the Symbol, Date, and amount of the Dividend, in that order.

       splits()
           Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each
           row contains the Symbol, Date, Post split shares, and Pre split shares, in that order.

REQUIRES

       Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo

DISCLAIMER

       The  data  returned from these modules is in no way guaranteed, nor are the developers responsible in any
       way for how this data (or lack thereof) is used. The interface is based on URLs  and  page  layouts  that
       might  change  at  any  time.  Even  though  these  modules  are  designed  to  be  adaptive  under these
       circumstances, they will at some point probably be unable to retrieve data unless fixed or provided  with
       new  parameters.  Furthermore,  the  data  from these web sites is usually not even guaranteed by the web
       sites themselves, and oftentimes is acquired elsewhere.

       If you would like to know more, check out the terms of service from Yahoo!, which can be found here:

         http://au.docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

       If you still have concerns, then use another site-specific historical quote instance, or none at all.

       Above all, play nice.
