Below message appearing in your cut-&-paste is evident that sane OpneSSL is not
present ... take a look at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46952306/installing-cryptssleay-on-mac-os-x
article.
Cannot link with any of the requested SSL libraries 'ssl, crypto,
ssl32, ssleay32, eay32, libeay32, z'
Recommendation is to install homebrew -- the lacking MacOS package manager to
make your life easier (YMMV here because of Intel Mac). Take a look at
https://brew.sh/ as it is strait forward to install. Then install OpenSSL using
homebrew and Perl modules thereafter in the order that I listed in previous
email. Before installing OpenSSL, I recommend you install zlib using brew as
well (brew install zlib) for OpenSSL to link with it.

Hi, Bruce, thanks for the clarification. This is an area of Perl where I have
very little experience.

I had:
Net::SSLeay 1.96
LWP::Protocol::https 6.07
And I don't have Crypt::SSLeay installed. doing a find over all of @INC only
turns up Net/SSLeay directories, and no Crypt/SSLeay directories.
I updated LWP::Protocol::https (now 6.15), and that didn't help, either with a
bare Perl test or with Gnucash.
I tried installing Crypt::SSLeay, but it failed:
% sudo cpan Crypt::SSLeay

It looks like I'm missing some libraries, but I have no idea how to get them or
even where they would be expected to be found.
Cheers, and thanks for your help,
Peter
