| Hi,

| I have noticed field 16 "PE" is consistently not matching the value on

I think you may be on to something. Maybe Yahoo! no longer sticks updated
data onto the csv interface. What I get using
edd@ron:~> yahooquote --verbose IBM

does not match what one sees at
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=IBM
But Finance::YahooQuote only 'delivers' what Yahoo! makes available, so I
have no fix to suggest. As I recall someone once wrote a module
Finance::YahooProfile that 'screen scrapes' so maybe you can try that.
