Changing the default currency symbol in Kermy's minicart

[Tama^chan]

I downloaded Kermy's mini-cart for V8 and had no problems with installing it, it's a lovely little piece of work

My question however is can anyone point me in the right direction to go about changing the currency symbol from pounds to "$"? I searched through the script and found a line that read:
my $defaultCur="£";

so I thought I could be clever and just change that to:
my $defaultCur="$";

but this made the whole Actinic shopping cart including the main cart fall over and break Does anyone know how to switch the currency symbols?

Since $ is used by Javascript to identify variables ($defaultCur?) try pacing an escape character before the $, so that line becomes

my $defaultCur="\$";

did it work tama chan?

Thanks for the suggestion! I did think it might have something to do with all the "$"'s in the coding.....

I'm watching Actinic spin its way through a slow snapshot at the moment, but I'll give it a try after that and let you know

Chang the line from

my $defaultCur="$";

to

my $defaultCur='$';

and it should be fine.
