If you have installed OpenSSL in anyway (natively hopefully it compiled and

Hi, Kalpesh, thanks for the suggestions.
Before I started using Gnucash 5.16, the OpenSSL that was installed on
my MacBook was working just fine.
I don't use homebrew at all, for Perl or for anything else.
I also recommend to run:
#cpanm --scandeps Finance::Quote
I don't have cpanm installed, I've been using cpan to do updates, and it
doesn't appear to have a corresponding option.
Alternate I can suggest is to run
openssl s_client -showcerts -servername <website_name> -connect <website_name>:443
</dev/null
I've done that, and it appears to establish a connection, but then gives
a "poll error" error message (which may be just because stdin has been
fed from /dev/null):
... lots of other debug stuff including dumps of certificates ...

poll error
Perhaps you may also want to try to see if F::Q works with another pricing
source (Yahoo for example) and be able to fetch pricing from there. You will
have to work through all these to find a single thing that is hick-upping.
I tried that, and I get the rather less than helpful error message
"Error accessing www.yahoo.com:", when I try to fetch the QAN price
either in Gnucash or direct in Perl. I get the same error whether I use
yahoojson or yahooweb as the source.
% /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli -V -Q dump
yahoojson QAN
Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli
Finance::Quote reported a failure for symbol QAN: Error accessing
www.yahoo.com:
%
The error may simply be because I'm using the wrong symbol, but the
error message is unhelpful in that regard. I tried all of QAN, AX.QAN
and ASX.QAN.
Cheers,
Peter
