SYNOPSIS¶
use Finance::Quote;

DESCRIPTION¶
This module obtains information about UK unit trust prices from
www.trustnet.co.uk. The information source "uk_unit_trusts" can be
used if the source of prices is irrelevant, and "trustnet" if you
specifically want to use trustnet.co.uk.
UNIT TRUST NAMES¶
Unfortunately there is no unique identifier for unit trust names. Therefore
enough of the name should be given including spaces to yield a unique match.
Trustnet sometimes uses abbreviated names, and the string given should match
the abbreviation.
Consult
http://www.trustnet.co.uk/ut/funds/perf.asp?sort=0 to find a match for
your unit trusts.
Example "jupiter income"
LABELS RETURNED¶
Information available from Trustnet may include the following labels: exchange
method source name currency bid ask yield price. In case of a unit trust,
"price" returns the offer (ask) price. In case of an OIEC, the
unique price is returned in "bid", "ask" and
"price".
