Brilliant! Thanks a 1000 times. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm not too well-versed in Perl (I normally do my work in Python), but I can at least read and understand what's going on, thanks to the pseudocode you posted. Again, Stew, thanks so much. --Mark PS: I'm not sure that the Greenblatt method will even work in a market that's as resources-heavy as the TSX, but I don't know of any database that would allow a backtest. I think Compustat's PIT does not contain inactive Canadian companies, so there would be survivorship bias, but I'll know in a few weeks.

Hi Stewart, I've been working on a PHP implementation of the same thing. But yours is very well done and, well, it's already complete.. So I was thinking about using it. However, I ran into a snag when trying to install the code onto my machine. I'm running the latest Ubuntu and it seems that the LWP::Parallel code that you use isn't supported by perl anymore. Is there any chance (if you are even reading this!) that you would make a newer version available that fixes the issues? - perhaps using CURL? Please let me know. Thank You!
