Finance::Currency::Convert 1.08

Finance::Currency::Convert module can convert currencies and fetch their exchange rates (with Finance::Quote).

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Currency::Convert;
my $converter = new Finance::Currency::Convert;

$amount_euro = $converter->convert(100, "DEM", "EUR");
$amount_euro = $converter->convertToEUR(100, "DEM");
$amount_dem = $converter->convertFromEUR(100, "DEM");

$converter->updateRates("EUR", "DEM", "USD");
$converter->updateRate("DEM", "USD");

$converter->setRatesFile(".rates");
$converter->writeRatesFile();

This module converts currencies. It has built in the fixed exchange rates for all Euro currencies (as of November 2000). If you wish to use other / more currencies, you can automatically fetch their exchange rates from the internet and (optionally) store them in a file for later reference.
Use this module if you have large volumes of currency data to convert. Using the exchange rates from memory makes it a lot faster than using Finance::Quote directly and will save you the duty of storing the exchange rates yourself.
