This module provides both the ``europe'' and ``yahoo_europe'' methods. The ``europe'' method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The ``yahoo_europe'' method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe.

This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter ``Yahoo::Europe'' to Finance::Quote->new().

Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://finance.uk.yahoo.com/ for more details.

LABELS RETURNED

This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these. The currency label is also returned.
