Maybe I should have worded my question better.

For the record, getting the stock quotes is covered - I'm using Perl
library Finance::Quote. I don't need a live service feed, as this is for
long term research purposes.

What I actually meant to ask was, is there a service that allows
previous end-of-day quotes to be queried and retrieved? Has someone
already started storing stock quotes on a db for research purposes?

Thanking you for your patience.
