BUGS/TODO

nasdaq.com (and hence getquote) returns curiously formatted strings, rather than numbers. getquote should 'numify' these.

It is likely that nasdaq.com will be changing their site some time in 2009. Watch for updates.

The module lacks many tests. getquote could be made more modular so as to avoid requiring an internet connection to test it.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-finance-nasdaq-quote at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Finance-NASDAQ-Quote. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
