Bruno,
It turns out that Apple decided to put the perl headers exclusively in the
Xcode SDK but their perl patch doesn't quite work. Gory details may be read at
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=127028.
The work-around in the last post to that bug, installing command-line tools and
then installing
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
got me a clean ExtUtils::MakeMaker install without the whining about
EXTERNAL.h. With that in place Date::Manip will also install correctly.
I just found /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/. It has DateTime and LWP,
explaining why F::Q doesn't complain about not finding them when they're not in
/Library/Perl. In fact in the course of installing Command Line Tools I also
got a system upgrade (from 10.14.4beta to 10.14.4) and that removed DateTime
and LWP from /Library/Perl/5.18 on my system. It didn't break Finance::Quote,
so I guess LWP is ruled out as the source of your problem.
When you say that Finance::Quote seems to work without problem does that mean
that stockdump.pl works but gnc-fq-dump still reports a 500 error?
Regards,
John Ralls
