Detailed Description

example script showing how to use the Quote perl module.

gets prices for some stocks, for some mutual funds

Note that this example uses the meta-level "fetch" command. We do NOT used that in Gnucash because it's behavior is unpredictable If the given method/exchange doesn't work, it'll fall back to other methods, and I've seen no guarantee that all exchanges treat all symbols the same. So in Gnucash, we use the backend methods directly, i.e. $quoter->fidelity_direct("IBM", "LNUX");, etc. The documentation page for each Finance::Quote sub-module describes how to call it directly without fallbacks.
