#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::Simple; # Popular currencies are: USD, GBP, EUR, and JPY. my ($amount,$cf,$ct) = ($ARGV[0],$ARGV[1],$ARGV[2]); $_=get("http://www.oanda.com/converter/classic?value=$amount&exch=$cf& +expr=$ct"); s/^.*<!-- conversion result starts//s; s/<!-- conversion result ends.*$//s; s/<[^>]+>//g; s/[ \n]+/ /gs; print $_, "\n" =head1 NAME CEG - Currency Exchange Grabber =head1 SYNOPSIS perl ceg.pl 50 USD JPY =head1 DESCRIPTION Here is a rough break-down of what each of the ARGV's are needed, +and mean: perl ceg.pl ($amount) ($cf - convert from) ($ct - convert to) This progam's use and reason for being created, is simply for anyo +ne that wants to be able to check the exchange rates for different types of mone +y, such as from other countries. Say one was going on a trip to Japan, and they l +ive currently in the United States. They would need to find out how much money the +y should bring, in order to have a good amount, and there isn't an easier way (alm +ost) than to just enter in the amount you want converted using CEG and telling it to + convert from what type of money, to the other country's money. It is a very simple program, and is really the first time I have u +sed LWP to do something (useful,) so it could have a lot of new features to add +in the future, and possible bug fixes, or efficiency caveats that could be changed, a +nd so on. =head1 POPULAR CURRENCIES Here are a few popular currencies you can use: USD - US Dollars GBP - UK EUR - EURO JPY - Japanese Yen You can find more at: http://www.oanda.com =head1 HISTORY Derived from a snippet from mitd: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=1553&lastnode_id=10799 +8 Developed by Andy summers on 28/08/2001 =cut

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
