    Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo is perfect ... and very fast ... Thank you very much. I was dreading the thought of using LWP::Simple for all of this... Now I just find an Excel (like) formula module and I'll be dangerous... Thanks again.
    #!/usr/bin/perl use Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo $q = new Finance::QuoteHist::Yahoo ( symbols => "SPY", start_date => '01/01/2012', end_date => 'today', ); # Values foreach $row ($q->quotes()) { ($symbol, $date, $open, $high, $low, $close, $volume) = @$row; print "$symbol, $date, $open, $high, $low, $close, $volume \n"; }
