[GNC] Finance Quote problem MacOS High Sierra.

[Bruce Schuck]

John,

I hate to say this, but on the High Sierra VM I just built 
Finance::Quote is getting valid currency exchanges. At first I was 
having the same issue, but after installing/updating Module::Load the 
issue was corrected.

Bruces-Virtual-High-Sierra:~ bschuck$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.13.6
BuildVersion:	17G66

Bruces-Virtual-High-Sierra:~ bschuck$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for 
darwin-thread-multi-2level

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use ExtUtils::Installed; # By default this module will be available in Perl

my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
foreach my $module ($instmod->modules()) {
  my $version = $instmod->version($module) || "Version Not Found.";
  print "$module version=$version \n";
}

I would love to see the output of the above Perl script from the system

./Examples/currency-lookup.pl EUR USD
EUR->USD = 1.0763104

Thanks.
