Finance::Quote
==============
IMPORTANT
=========
Read Documentation/License for the license (GPL) covering this code.
Dependancies
------------
Finance::Quote depends upon a number of other perl modules to
function correctly. These modules include:
LWP::UserAgent
HTTP::Request::Common
HTML::TableExtract
You will receive a warning during the make process if one or more of
these modules are missing.
One easy way to install the modules that Finance::Quote requires is
to use perl's CPAN module:
hostname$ perl -MCPAN -e shell (as root)
If you haven't used the CPAN module before, then it may ask you a few
simple configuration questions before you get to the cpan> prompt.
You can install any module from CPAN using:
cpan> install my::module
Indeed, it's possible to install Finance::Quote and all the modules
it depends upon using:
cpan> install Finance::Quote
Install instructions
--------------------
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test (optional)
# make install (as root)
Couldn't be easier, could it?
The tests do take some time to run (especially the currency test), so
please be patient.
What if my tests fail?
----------------------
Your tests could fail if your machine does not have a connection to the
Internet, if your machine must use an HTTP proxy and you do not have
your http_proxy environment variable set, or if one or more of the
servers that Finance::Quote uses is down or unhappy.
The tests can also fail if you have not installed all the modules
that Finance::Quote depends upon. See the section on dependancies
above.
