Retrieve stock and mutual fund info easily and flexibly
http://www.27.org/getstockquote/
The script (or "scriptlet", I guess) uses Paul Jamieson Fenwick's wonderful Finance::Quote Perl module. The rational behind making the script was basically to have an easy interface to the module and an easy (and easily configurable) way to get stock quotes for my rather meager portfolio of tech stocks (although after what's happened to the NASDAQ so far this April, I'm not sure anymore if I want to see what's happening to my stocks...). I wanted to be able to get certain quote info from within another script I have, yet I also wanted a plain old server-side includes to return more detailed information from my HTML "home page", all without having to edit the script itself. In addition, I wanted to get quote data on one or more than one stock as needed, again without editing the script or hacking together a new quotes script every time I wanted different data. So I get this by "packaging" Finance::Quote's functionality in a Perl "wrapper" that I can easily call from someplace else.
The script would probably be most useful for anyone that doesn't want to write Perl CGI scripts or is just too lazy to bother (in the Good Sense). If you want to get different stock data in many places all from one source, then getstockquote will probably save you some time. One future use of it for me is to have a page which gives many very terse quotes, each of which are linked to more detailed single quote info. With this script I can do all that using just plain old HTML. CGI and Perl > Scripts and Programs > Web Fetching Oct 11, 2006

News Clipper allows web designers to automatically integrate dynamic information from the Internet into their own web pages. It allows individual users to create custom newspapers, or businesses to enliven otherwise static web pages. Its tag language gives users control of data acquisition, manipulation, and presentation, and can be extended by writing new "handlers".
News Clipper operates as an off-line pre-processor for HTML files, running as a cron job in the background to keep web pages up-to-date, but not causing delays in page downloads. Web developers insert content in a particular style by using News Clipper commands like this
