I just remembered a third case that's probably the same problem:

took 15 minutes to install the F::Q dependencies and the attempt
ultimately failed because SSLeay failed its unit tests.
I concur. I also have some agreement with Mr. Williams who opened that
bug. While I understand doing the quote retrieval natively in GnuCash
would be problematic for how much they need to be changed (especially
recently), I am at least slightly surprised there hasn't been an effort
to replace F::Q with something written in Python or another language.
macOS is macOS. They don't change anything for the hardware, not
even the build: Everything in the OS is universal binaries with
x86_64 snd arm64. It's possible that Xcode/command-line tools adds
stuff to /System/Library/Perl/Extras, but the user said he has both
installed. I've asked him about what year MBA and what version of
macOS. Perhaps there's a clue there.
I get the macOS is macOS thing. But I've ended up down too many rabbit
holes because of assumptions that turned out wrong. I would find it odd
that XCode would know to add stuff for Perl, but again, I don't want to
assume it doesn't.
As for XCode command line tools being installed, I would think if they
were, then wouldn't the libssl header files that the user's cpan output
indicated were missing *not* be missing? It's been a while since I
installed Xcode and the extra XCode bits on either of the Macs in my
possession.
Take care sir. I think it's time for my scotch nightcap.
