Finance::Quote currency conversion broken

[Nate Eldredge]

The currency conversion feature in Finance::Quote doesn't work. It seems that Yahoo changed their web page format.

Doing

use Finance::Quote;
my $q = Finance::Quote->new();
print $q->currency("1.10 CAD", "USD") . "\n";

returns undef. gnucash also doesn't update currency quotes.

It looks like this has been fixed upstream (though not yet in a new release). See
