Murugan,

I'm not seeing any issues on macOS Big Sur version 11.7.4 and I think my
Intel MacBook Pro was OK - will double check later and confirm whether that
is the case.  Also the same command works on Win 11 when formatted
correctly :-)  None of the tests I ran required a valid AlphaVantage api
key, a single x was all that was required.

ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=xxxx .cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.54-0/Examples/
currency-lookup.pl EUR USD

EUR->USD = 1.0766



ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=x
/Applications/Gnucash/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump -v
currency EUR USD

1 EUR = 1.07678 USD


Cheers David H.
