-Get stock and mutual fund quotes from various exchange.
+This module gets stock quotes from various internet sources, including
+Yahoo! Finance, Fidelity Investments, and the Australian Stock Exchange.
+There are two methods of using this module -- a functional interface
+that is depreciated, and an object-orientated method that provides
+greater flexibility and stability.
+
+With the exception of straight currency exchange rates, all information
+is returned as a two-dimensional hash (or a reference to such a hash,
+if called in a scalar context).  For example:
+
+    %info = $q->fetch("australia","CML");
+    print "The price of CML is ".$info{"CML","price"};
+
+The first part of the hash (eg, "CML") is referred to as the stock.
+The second part (in this case, "price") is referred to as the label.
