Thanks for the explanation, David. I think I may have been a bit over-zealous

This definitely looks like a permissions issue.
One possibility is if you downloaded the source file with root permissions
or copied it to another location using sudo privileges it may have saved the

Stable releases are certainly intended to work for ordinary users, though it's

Well, that was the clue that fixed things for me. I was able to do a wee bit
of cpan updating and it apparently fixed the conflict that was causing me
all the failures. Everything works nicely. Also, if i might add, the latest
3.8 version seems to start up a bit quicker than its elder predecessor.

I just installed v3.8 on my Windows 10 machine (not sure exactly which

When I open my file, all the account have zero balances. Double-clicking on

I may have posted too soon without testing the debian packages for v3.8.
Installation from the v3.8 .deb files I gave the URL for failed for me on
