Sorry for late response, I've been battling some health issues the last
month+.

Kalpesh,
While this will work for this case (no extra dependencies added), please
refrain from suggesting this method of installing Finance::Quote.
Especially to those with limited experience with Perl.
There is no reason that the cpan or cpanm utilities can not be used on
Windows with Strawberry Perl, Mac OSX, and especially Linux/Unix/BSD.
For those who for some reason are having difficulties with cpan/cpanm,
it would be much more beneficial in the long run to troubleshoot why the
standard Perl module install tool is not working.
WRT the GBP/GBp issue, I would appreciate that the issue is duplicated
and confirmed BEFORE suggesting a user make manual edits! In the case of
NWG.L, Finance::Quote this morning returned Last:4.803 GBP (pounds). A
lookup at
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/NWG/natwest-group-plc/company-page
returned 480.30 GBX (pence). And finance.yahoo.com returned 480.30 GBp
(pence). Perhaps asking Adrian what values he was seeing, and why he
determined they were incorrect?
Thank you.
Bruce S.
