The modules are super easy to use:
(Win32 AS 5.8)
Get some charts
use Finance::YahooChart; foreach( @ARGV ){ last unless /\w+/; my %img = getchart(symbol => $_ , size => 'b', type => 'w', include => 'm'); `get $img{'url'} > $_.jpg`; }

Get some quotes
#!/perl/bin/perl use strict; use Finance::YahooQuote; my @quote = getquote @ARGV; foreach (@quote){ print "${$_}[1] Bid: ${$_}[9] Ask: ${$_}[10] Last: ${$_}[2] \n"; }

Example usage:
c:\>quote.pl ibm msft qqq
Update:removed the results

I can't speak to the legal issues and think it is OT for this group. Martha Stewart's site probably has a lot of knowledge about stuff like that though, you might check her site out for that topic: www.marthstewart.com (kidding of course )
You should ask a lawyer about this stuff (Not kidding), especially since the SEC is very particular about dissemination of information about publicly traded securities.
Someone makes a poor investment decision based on information you provied and you my friend are now possibly liable for losses they incurred. Are you sure you are ready for that?
