I'm trying to work out why my currency converter decided its gonna stop working. To test, I've made a copy of the function into just a simple test.cgi script: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

    use utf8;

    use Locale::Currency;
    use File::Basename;
    use Cache::FileCache;
    use Finance::Quote;
    use POSIX;

    print "FOO: ". get_price("CHF","EUR","50") . "\n";

sub get_price {
    
    my ($currency_from,$currency_to,$amount) = @_;
    
    my ($filename) = fileparse($0, '.pl');

    my $cache = Cache::FileCache->new({
        cache_root         => "$ENV{HOME}/.$filename",
        default_expires_in => '1 day',
    });

    my $quote = Finance::Quote->new();

    my $ratio = $cache->get("$currency_from:$currency_to");

    $ratio = $quote->currency($currency_from, $currency_to)
        unless defined $ratio;

    die "sorry, cannot convert from $currency_from to $currency_to\n"
        unless defined $ratio;

    $cache->set("$currency_from:$currency_to", $ratio);
    
    return $amount * $ratio
    
}

However, when I run it - I now get: 
-bash-3.2$ perl test.cgi
[Sat Jan 18 13:09:21 2014] test.cgi: Illegal division by zero at /usr/
+lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Finance/Quote/IndiaMutual.pm line 27.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to whats going on - as it was working fine before :/

TIA
