[Finance-quote-devel] Can't get price for VMMXX

[Jim H. <jim...@or...>]

Hi,

Want to get a quote for Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund (VMMXX) and I am getting percentage rather than a price.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Finance::Quote;
use Data::Dumper;

my $q = Finance::Quote->new;

$q->timeout(60);

my @vfunds = qw(VMMXX);

my %quotes_vguard = $q->fetch("vanguard", @vfunds);

print Dumper(\%quotes_vguard);

foreach my $q (@vfunds) {
    print "$q price is\t".$quotes_vguard{"$q",'price'};
    print "\n";
}

This give me:

$VAR1 = {
          'VMMXXopen' => undef,
          'VMMXXavg_vol' => '0',
          'VMMXXask' => undef,
          'VMMXXvolume' => undef,
          'VMMXXsuccess' => 1,
          'VMMXXeps' => undef,
          'VMMXXcap' => undef,
          'VMMXXisodate' => '2014-05-30',
          'VMMXXdiv_yield' => undef,
          'VMMXXbid' => undef,
          'VMMXXex_div' => undef,
          'VMMXXday_range' => 'N/A - N/A',
          'VMMXXdate' => '05/30/2014',
          'VMMXXdiv' => undef,
          'VMMXXpe' => undef,
          'VMMXXprice' => '0.01%',
          'VMMXXsymbol' => 'VMMXX',
          'VMMXXyear_range' => 'N/A - N/A',
          'VMMXXhigh' => undef,
          'VMMXXlast' => '0.01%',
          'VMMXXcurrency' => 'USD',
          'VMMXXtime' => '18:24',
          'VMMXXclose' => undef,
          'VMMXXnet' => undef,
          'VMMXXname' => 'Vanguard Money Ma',
          'VMMXXlow' => undef,
          'VMMXXdiv_date' => undef,
          'VMMXXmethod' => 'yahoo',
          'VMMXXp_change' => undef
        };

VMMXX price is  0.01%

I notice that yahoo finance does not have a lot of info on its’ webpage. Does the module use that for the info?

I realize this is a money market and I could hard code the value of the mutual fund to 1. But wondering if this is a bug.
