Fetching Thomsonfn Realtime Data

Thomsonfn provides the most accurate real-time data. Scottrader's data is
not accurate 80% of the time. The only way for stock quote screamer is to
use Quotetracker with scottrader data and before trade, double check with
Thomsonfn.

The author of Quotetrader refused to implement thomsonfn for an unknown
reason. I wonder if anyone here knows how to fetch data from thomsonfn
real-time?

It seems to me that it uses cookies and it uses session key with its url
after each login. So the program must maintain a cookie jar and tracks what
session the server sent back

Yes. I know it is a perl group. I just want to know how I can use Perl to
fetch the data. I am successful at fetching other sites which does not
require cookie or log in. I just want to know how people fetch data from
sites needing login, cookies, especially secssions, which I see not model in
Perl handles receiving sessions from server.
