2000-Oct-30 An article on Finance::Quote was featured in The Perl Journal, issue number 19. The article is a good introduction to the module and well worth reading if you are beginning to work with Finance::Quote.
Sadly, The Perl Journal is no longer published. Thanks to The Web Archive, you can find the issue here.
O'Reilly also publishes The Best of the Perl Journal. The draft article is available from our documentation page.
