After two days of internet research I have finally found documentation - 
on my PC.

One of the things I was disappointed with was the quality of the POD 
contents for the modules.  At the weekend I decided that I would have to 
read the source code to learn how to proceed. While looking for the 
locations of the source files I also found the following excellent man 
pages.

In answer to Vlado, I have two uses for this.  Firstly, I have a web 
site where I generate data in real time for a large number of objects 
which I need to test regularly. Second I use somone else's web site and 
I need to collect data on a daily basis.
