Public bug reported:
The currency conversion feature in Finance::Quote doesn't work. It
seems that Yahoo changed their web page format.
Doing
use Finance::Quote;
my $q = Finance::Quote->new();
print $q->currency("1.10 CAD", "USD") . "\n";
returns undef. gnucash also doesn't update currency quotes.
It looks like this has been fixed upstream (though not yet in a new release).
