A new module for US traded stocks, StockData.pm, with default method

Well that sucks. I originally tested this module this past Sunday. And
since the US markets are closed weekends, getting data as of COB Friday
was okay. Testing this week, I've come to find out that their data is at
least one day old! If you query their API anytime during market business
hours tomorrow, the data will be as of COB Wednesday 5/1. This is what
is returns now (19:30PDT 5/2). Sometime after the markets close the data
from StockData.org will then reflect COB today... <sigh>
Their title page does say, "Free Real-time, Intraday, Historical Stock
Data API". I have attempted to send email and fill out their online
contact form. No response in 2 days so far.
I'm thinking no one wants a data source that while seemingly dependable,
is not current data.
Short version, if you've tried the 'stockdata' method and found the data
to be wrong, please don't bother opening an issue. It's not F::Q or
GnuCash, it's the source data.
