I think the problem is that the argument contains certain characters (like
? and &, perhaps) in it. If you have 'GET', you probably also have
LWP::Simple.
use LWP::Simple 'get';
$content = get
"http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=$Val";;
Or else quote the argument:
open FH,
"GET 'http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=$Val' |";
