SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("unit_trusts","trust-name"); #
Can failover to other methods
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("trustnet","trust-name"); # Use

DESCRIPTION
This module obtains information about UK unit trust prices
from www.trustnet.co.uk. The information source
"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 some
times 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 fol
lowing 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".
