There are OLE extensions for Perl. You could modify QuoteMonster to 
retrieve your quotes (add a timing loop and sleep() between retrievals), 
then use OLE to update your spreadsheet. Search dejanews for sample code. 
Pretty easy stuff. See http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/  
http://xmlworks.com/pf1/ and http://www.perl.com/   Everything is free 
and open source.
