Bruce,
Correct. IIUC there are a lot of things not normally included in a flatpak
installation required to run cpan, so it's not really a practical option. We
build Finance::Quote and all of its dependencies from source tarballs, see
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-flatpak/blob/master/modules/finance-quote-sources.json.
Unfortunately F::Q has a lot of dependencies and the list isn't stable, so
keeping up with the latest often falls in the "too much effort" category and
doesn't get done.
If there's a better way, please share.
Regards,
John Ralls
