Unfortunately none at all, it just fails during the fetch and can't find any 
error messages anywhere. As stated, the same module works without problems in a 
local separate perl script. 

Any ideas?

cheers,

Skimming the source of Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA (which seems to be
what Finance::Quote uses when you -fetch('nyse')) it looks like it
makes a request to http://finance.yahoo.com/d; with LWP. Maybe you
could try using LWP directly and see if that complains?

Looking through a couple of logs I finally found an indication for the error: 
could not lookup DNS configuration info service: (ipc/send) invalid destination 
port
this seems only to happen when executed with Postgres - i think its an 
underlying OSX problem in combination with postgres and found some entries 
online but no real solution for the problem.

[GENERAL] OSX Postgres PL/Perl Problem with Finance::Quote/Options

2011-03-29 Thread Peter Pan


Hi@all,

I have a weird problem on dev server (using a Mac Mini 2010 Edt., 10.6.7 OSX).

I use two Perl modules Finance::Quote and Finance::QuoteOptions in a stored 
PL/Perl procedure which run without problems on a standard LINUX environment 
(currently in production on CentOS5). Unfortunately on OSX it seems not to be 
able to properly connect and retrieve the data from Yahoo.

Using the same code in a local perl file (under db user) it works without 
problems, but fails in the stored procedure. I don't get any compilation errors 
during import or execution and also no exceptions while the code is executed. 
As mentioned, the same function works fine under Linux.

Environment:
- OSX 10.6.7
- Postgres 9.0.2 (compiled from source / config options --with-openssl 
--with-perl --with-libraries=/opt/local/lib --with-includes=/opt/local/include 
/ readline was installed via ports)
- Perl 5.12.3 (compled from source under /usr/local/ linked via enviromentable 
variables in .profile / config options ./configure.gnu -des -Duseshrplib 
--prefix=/usr/local/perl5)

I guess this is some weird behaviour under OSX (one of many) and hopefully 
somebody stumbled over this already in the past.

Thank you in advance!

cheers,
Alex



Here is a condensed version of the function to illustrate the problem:

CREATE FUNCTION func_test() RETURNS SETOF maxpain AS $$

  use strict;
  #use warnings;
  use Finance::Quote;
  use Finance::QuoteOptions;
  use Time::localtime;
  
elog(INFO, Starting Yahoo data retrieval for: C;);

# YAHOO! DATA RETRIEVAL  PREPARATION
# Variables
my @work_array; # Main work array filled with final  calculated values

my $_stock_symbol = 'C';

# Get Quote Information
my $q = Finance::Quote-new();
my %data = $q-fetch('nyse', 'C');
if (!defined %data) { elog(INFO, Quote conn. error;);
  #return_next({status=3});
  return undef;
}

# Get Quote Options (Put OI, Call OI, Strike Put/Call etc.)
my $qf=Finance::QuoteOptions-new('C');
if (!$qf-retrieve) { elog(INFO, QuoteOptions conn. errors);
 return undef;
}
$$ LANGUAGE plperlu;
