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.
