Derek;

The following perl script will retrieve real time currency conversions
from Yahoo.

Quotes is a perl (5.x) script that will fetch up to 10 company stock
quotes and print the retrieved quotations. It is also capable of
performing foreign currency conversion (any-to-any) on any integer
amount. Both the stocks and the currencies are configurable
(among other parameters/options) with a resource file. It also works
behind a proxy/firewall. Only requires Perl 5.x. As a bonus it fetches
Linux headlines from Slashdot.org as well.

Hope this is helpful.
