Have a look at Finance::Quote on

You know, with perl there's always more than one way to get the job
done. Even without it. If you don't need to extract quotes, you
could just use wget instead of perl...

On common linux distributions it's automatically installed with perl.
So better check if you don't already have it first.
type 'perl -e "use HTTP::Request" && echo is installed' (without the
single quotes). 

If you don't have it, either
- have it loaded by CPAN:
  type "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and follow the instructions, or
- install it as package for your unix distributon (that's an
  .rpm-file, for example)
