Hello bulrush,

By making some changes to your code I was able to get this result (running from the command line under Windows 8.1):

23:25 >perl 1001_SoPW.pl
Price of GOOGL is 597.78 for 09/05/2014

23:25 >

Here is my revised script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Finance::Quote;

getquote('googl', '20140822');

sub getquote
{
    my ($sym, $qdate) = @_;
        $sym          = uc($sym);
    my  $quote        = Finance::Quote->new;
    my  @exchanges    = sort($quote->sources);

    $quote->timeout(60);
    $quote->require_labels(qw/price date high low volume/);
    $quote->set_currency('USD');

    my $exch = 'usa';
    my %info = $quote->fetch($exch, $sym, 'A', 'MSFT');

    if (!%info)
    {
        my $s = "getquote ERROR: No information returned for symbol $s
+ym from $exch";
        warn $s;
        return;
    }

    my $dt = $info{$sym, 'date'};
    print "Price of $sym is " . $info{$sym, 'price'} . ' for ' . $dt .
+ "\n"; # DEBUG
}

The major change is to the line:

$quote->require_labels(qw/success errormsg price date exchange name/);

[download]

which I replaced with this line:

$quote->require_labels(qw/price date high low volume/);

[download]

copied from the “SYNOPSIS” section of the module’s documentation. I conclude that the module works, you just need to tweak the label settings.

BTW: Please note that Perl variables are best declared at the point of first use. Also, the second parameter to sub getquote is unused.

Hope that helps,
