## DESCRIPTION
    This module fetches currency rates from <https://www.ecb.europa.eu> and provides data to
    [Finance::Quote](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Finance%3A%3AQuote/markdown) to convert the first argument to the equivalent value in the currency indicated
    by the second argument.

    The European Central Bank provides a small list of currencies, quoted against the Euro. This
    module caches the table of rates for the lifetime of the [Finance::Quote](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Finance%3A%3AQuote/markdown) object after the first
    currency conversion.
