hi BrettE,

Yes, those crazy chars are correct and needed by the yahoo download
site.
I checked with the stockdump script from Finance::Quote and this is
returned for AMZN using version 1.37.

> perl stockdump.pl yahoo AMZN

$VAR1 = {
          'AMZNlow' => '522.00',
          'AMZNdiv_date' => undef,
          'AMZNex_div' => undef,
          'AMZNlast' => '527.46',
          'AMZNsymbol' => 'AMZN',
          'AMZNcap' => '246700000000',
          'AMZNopen' => '523.65',
          'AMZNsuccess' => 1,
          'AMZNisodate' => '2015-08-11',
          'AMZNvolume' => '2676600',
          'AMZNclose' => '524.00',
          'AMZNtime' => '16:00',
          'AMZNprice' => '527.46',
          'AMZNask' => '529.50',
          'AMZNeps' => '-0.41',
          'AMZNhigh' => '528.98',
          'AMZNnet' => '+3.46',
          'AMZNp_change' => '+0.66',
          'AMZNyear_range' => '284.00 - 580.57',
          'AMZNdiv_yield' => undef,
          'AMZNmethod' => 'yahoo',
          'AMZNname' => 'Amazon.com, Inc.',
          'AMZNavg_vol' => '3305790',
          'AMZNdiv' => undef,
          'AMZNcurrency' => 'USD',
          'AMZNbid' => '528.85',
          'AMZNpe' => undef,
          'AMZNdate' => '08/11/2015',
          'AMZNday_range' => '522.00 - 528.98'
        };

This looks correct to me.
