First we use a Perl server side script to access our MySQL database, which contains our list of stocks on the NYSE, and present these stock tickers in a drop down list.

This second Perl script then retrieves a live stock price, and creates an XML document with the information.
Finally, we use XSLT to transform and format the XML document, which is then displayed here in your browser as HTML.
