[GNC] Finance Quote problem MacOS High Sierra.

[John Ralls]

Bruce,

Versions:
Module::Load 0.36
Module::Load::Conditional 0.74
SelfLoader 1.24
AutoLoader 5.74

and for good measure
Perl 5.18.2

I ran perl -d:Trace .cpan/build/Finance-Quote-blah-blah/Examples/currency-lookup.pl EUR USD and attached the zipped result below. You might see a couple of unfamiliar strings, those are from print statements I'd inserted to try to see what was going on.

Regards,
John Ralls
