Or search for Finance or Quotes with search.cpan.org because there are more

I seem to remember that Yahoo Finance has a Web-Services interface
that may alloy you to get financial data. The current figured are
lagged by about ten minutes or so. Take a look at the Yahoo Developer
Network (http://developer.yahoo.com/) for more detail.

I am wondering if there is a way to copy a webpage to a text file
using Perl. All I need is to copy as unformatted text.
I would like to match certain strings on pages written in javascript
and to my understanding, www::mechnize does not work for this
application.
Unfortunately I know of no module that lets you run javascript. Your
best bet may be to use Win32::OLE* to puppet string Internet Explorer
for you. You may also want to look at Win32::IEAutomation**.
