Not a question, just my notes on how I got Finance::Quote to work on a new Mac Mini M1.

Operating system is OS X 11.6 (Big Sur)

GnuCash Version is 4.8 (from the -2.dmg)

My initial install left me unable to download quotes (via Finance::Quote). Research online eventually led to a Reddit discussion about similar problems. Apparently the root cause of the trouble was that module Mozilla::CA provides certificates for inquiries, but was not installed with theĀ  default Perl. Sequence of installs necessary for success was:

sudo cpan -i B::Keywords
sudo cpan -i Test2
sudo cpan -i DateTime
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Locale
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Format::Strptime
sudo cpan -i Mozilla::CA

Once those are all done then go to:

/Applications/Gnucash/Contents/Resources/bin

and run the Finance::Quote fixing script:

sudo ./gnc-fq-update

After all the above, all the wonderful quotes were downloaded beautifully. Now, if I could only get the courage to "upgrade" to Monterey...
