It depends on HTML::TableExtract, so it seems to be screen-scraping.
Note though that the Sourceforge home page http://finance-quote.sf.net/
suggests that it is actively maintained, with releases from as recently
as January and going back as early as 2000, so presumably the module is
being patched as needed to keep it working with Yahoo's site.
