So I created a nifty little market checking program for my website. I have no idea how to format the perl program though so I can have the info display in a table on a web page, and right now, it is just a line of information. How would i format this code to appear in a table? Or better yet, how could I have another html webpage pull in variable values after running this page? Here is my code:
# create object my $q = Finance::Quote->new(); # retrieve stock quote my %data = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^GSPC'); my %data1 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^DJI'); my %data2 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^FTSE'); my %data3 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^HSI'); my %data4 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^N225'); my %data5 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^GDAXI'); my %data6 = $q->fetch('NYSE', 'GCQ09.CMX'); my %data7 = $q->fetch('NYSE', 'CLV09.NYM'); my %data8 = $q->fetch('NYSE', '^TNX'); # print price print "Nikkei 225: " . $data4{'^N225', 'net'}, "\n"; print "Hang Seng: " . $data3{'^HSI', 'net'}, "\n"; print "DAX: " . $data5{'^GDAXI', 'net'}, "\n"; print "FTSE 100: " . $data2{'^FTSE', 'net'}, "\n"; print "S&P 500: " . $data{'^GSPC', 'net'}, "\n"; print "Dow Jones: " . $data1{'^DJI', 'net'}, "\n"; print "Gold: " . $data6{'GCQ09.CMX', 'net'}, "\n"; print "Oil: " . $data7{'CLV09.NYM', 'net'}, "\n"; print "US 10 Year Treasury Note: " . $data8{'^TNX', 'net'}, "\n";
I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal
