When running the following code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.0
use strict;
my ($cad_price) = 100;
use Finance::Currency::Convert::Yahoo;
$Finance::Currency::Convert::Yahoo::CHAT = 1;
my ($usd_price) = Finance::Currency::Convert::Yahoo::convert($cad_price,'CAD','USD');
print "\nCurrency Converter\n";
print "$cad_price CAD = $usd_price USD\n";
I receive the following error:
Converting <100> from <CAD> to <USD> at Yahoo.pm line 125.

Currency Converter
100 CAD = USD
Checking the actual Yahoo! Finance page reveals that it is now using a different set of parameters to calculate the currency conversion results.
