💖 Finance::Quote::Currencies(3) 💖

Okay bestie, so this manual page is literally about a Perl module called Finance::Quote::Currencies, and it's giving "list of currencies from iban.com" energy. I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting, but don't worry — every single detail is staying right where it belongs. Periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::Currencies — a whole module that's just a list of currencies from iban.com. No cap, that's the vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so here's how you actually use it. Copy this exactly, bestie — no typos, no "fixing" things, just straight up:

use Finance::Quote::Currencies;

my $currencies = Finance::Quote::Currencies::known_currencies();

# Grab the latest list
my $live_currencies = Finance::Quote::Currencies::fetchive_currencies();

(Yes, the synopsis literally says fetchive_currencies() and I'm not touching it because rules are rules. The description below uses fetch_live_currencies. Both are staying exactly as written. 🙈)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module provides a list of known currencies from iban.com.

known_currencies returns a cached currency information stored in this module.

fetch_live_currencies is a function that fetches the latest currency information.

Both functions return a hash, and it looks like this — keep it exact, bestie:

{CODE => {'name'    => 'Currency Name',
          'country' => ['List of countries known to use this currency'],
          'number'  => 'ISO 4217 currency code'}}

So each currency code maps to a little hash with name, country (which is a list of countries known to use that currency), and number (the ISO 4217 currency code). It's giving organized. It's giving useful. We love to see it. 💜

🎀 CACHE DATE 🎀

The currency list stored in this module was last copied from the live site Oct 2020.

So yeah, it's a little vintage. Not me checking the date like 👀 — but that's literally what the module says, so I'm passing it along. The live fetch function exists for a reason, iykyk.
