Rick,
Thanks.
As it happens, I just found the answer:
.
.
.
# Get the hash that relates field names to field IDs
%fields = ars_GetFieldTable($ctrl, $schema) or die "Couldn't get field table";
# Retreive the entry by its Request ID
%values = ars_GetEntry($ctrl, $schema, $id);
# The currency field I am interested in is called Cost Each
$costfield = $values{$fields{'Cost Each'}});
# Now extract the numeric value and the currency code
$cost = $costfield->{'value'};
$currency = $costfield->{'currencyCode'};
.
.

I remember in v6 that there was a bug that affected the ability to translate
Currency fields on import. You might try copying the value into a character
field and reading that. It will translate the value back correctly when you
move the value from the char to the currency field again.
