Description:

Finance::QuoteHist is a top level interface for fetching historical
stock quotes from the web.

It is actually a front end to modules based on
Finance::QuoteHist::Generic, the main difference being that it has a
default *lineup* of web sites from which to attempt quote retrieval.

Unless otherwise defined via the *lineup* attribute, this module will
select a *lineup* for you, the default being:

Finance::QutoeHist::Yahoo
Finance::QuoteHist::QuoteMedia

Once instantiated, this module behaves identically to the first module
in the *lineup*, sharing all of that module's methods.

Most queries will likely be handled by the first module in the lineup.
If the site is down for some reason, or perhaps that site does not
provide quotes for defunct ticker symbols, then the other sites in the
lineup will be attempted.

See Finance::QuoteHist::Generic(3) for gory details on all of the
parameters and methods this module accepts. The basic interface is
noted below.
