The 'Dumper' line is to show what is available, the print lines show how to get single values. Obviously, you need to install finance/p5-Finance-Quote.
Well, I already had p5-Finance-Quote installed (as part of gnucash!).The script works just fine, but there's one piece of information that I want but is not shown. The Dumper output returned
'AAPLdiv' => '2.28',
which is correct for the "Forward Dividend", but I also want to track
the "Trailing Dividend" (which, for AAPL, is $2.08).
BTW, the Forward Dividend value is also available via the "cvs" URL without using the perl code.
