www.fundlibrary.com
SYNOPSIS¶
use Finance::Quote;

%stockinfo = $q->fetch("fundlibrary","fundlib-code"); # Use this

DESCRIPTION¶
This module obtains information about Canadian Mutual Fund prices from
www.fundlibrary.com. The information source "canadamutual" can be
used if the source of prices is irrelevant, and "fundlibrary" if you
specifically want to use www.fundlibrary.com.
FUNDLIB-CODE¶
In Canada a mutual fund does not have a unique global symbol identifier.
This module uses an id that represents the mutual fund on an id used by
www.fundlibrary.com. There is no easy way of fetching the id except to jump
onto the fundlibrary website, look up the fund and view the url for clues to
its id number.
LABELS RETURNED¶
Information available from fundlibrary may include the following labels:
exchange method link source name currency yield last nav price. The link label
will be a url location for a one page snapshot that fundlibrary provides on
the fund.
