DESCRIPTION

Using pages like

Both stars stock quotes and movie stock quotes can be fetched, under the symbols shown on the pages.

The HSX web site is for use under terms described

As of May 2008 it's for personal non-commercial enjoyment only. It's your responsibility to ensure your use of this module complies with those terms.

USAGE

This module is not in the Finance::Quote defaults, but can be loaded in the usual ways, either an environment variable

FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET="-defaults Hollywood"
export FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET

or in the quoter creation in your code

my $quoter = Finance::Quote->new ('-defaults', 'Hollywood');

The -defaults can be omitted if you don't want the standard modules, just Hollywood.

A single fetch method hollywood is provided, so for example with the sample chkshares.pl script from Finance::Quote

FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET="Hollywood" ./chkshares.pl hollywood EBANA

or in your own code

my %quotes = $quoter->fetch ('hollywood', 'EBANA');
print "last price ", $quotes{'EBANA','last'}, "\n";

Each symbol is a separate HTTP request, so there's no particular need to group them in a single fetch call.
