I think that the issue with the Perl module to download Finance::Quote is that it downloads the latest released version while I was trying to download the development issue.
Exactly what command were you using. "cpan BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz" would have installed the interim version.
In the end I just copied the relevant YahooJson.pm module and replaced the previous module. Unfortunately my programming experience was limited to Fortran, Basic and Logo (!) and I am a bit rusty!
I was a Fortran IV/77 developer a lifetime ago. Learned Basic as part of an advanced Math curriculum in 8th grade (1974-1975).
On the issue of the GBp to GBP conversion Things are now working but there is still a minor issue. When I checked this morning NXR was returning the correct price (I do not understand what has changed) but with NWG I realised that I was retrieving the price from Alphavantage not Yahoo and that was showing 480.5. When I changed the source to Yahoo as JSON it worked correctly and shows 4.803.
It's a known issue with AlphaVantage, noted in the Caveat section of the Finance::Quote::AlphaVantage(3) man page. The AV API does not return the currency, so all ".L" symbols are assumed to be GBP. If the user knows a security is traded in GPp/GBX, and using AlphaVantage, add a ".X" to the symbol. So NWG.L would be NWG.L.X.
