Before I answer this I should mention that the reason for putting all of that in javascript is probably to stop people from doing exactly what you are attempting to do....

Anyway, I grabbed one of the pages (companies with the letter 'B'), stored it in a file and used the following to create a Perl data structure: 

perl -e "use Data::Dumper; open(H,qq|stocksymbols.txt|) or die $!; loc
+al $/; my $allfile .= <H>; close(H); if($allfile=~m/(\[\[.*\]\])/s){@
+stuff = eval($1) }; print Dumper \$stuff[0]->[1]->[0];"
$VAR1 = \'BACPRV';

With your newfound data structure you can easily use LWP::Simple and Yahoo stocks or some other source to get the data you want (although I am willing to bet their service agreement says you should not do it there either).
