Finance::Quote
(You can suggest changes to this post.)
Awright! Finance::Quote now does automatic currency conversion, and makes it dead-simple to use:
use Finance::Quote;
my $quoter = Finance::Quote->new;
$quoter->set_currency("AUD");
my %info = $quoter->fetch("nasdaq","LNUX");
%info will now contain information about VA Linux Systems, except all information will be in Australian dollars, rather than the US dollars which Yahoo supplies it in. This makes me very happy indeed, and means that it's now very very very easy to write stock tickers and the like which show information in your local currency.
