Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
Maybe it would be best if the entire Wiki was subdivided into major sections dealing with the three operating system types? I know from my own experience that having Windows stuff intermingled with MacOS and Linux is a pain if that's what I'm interested in, and vice versa for all the others. I'll take a look at it when I get home tonight, a bit of wordsmithing and all that. Quite a bit more than what I originally intended to do, but that's how it goes...maybe I'll learn something.

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
Okay, so I put my findings into the Wiki. Turns out it's relatively easy. Hopefully if something I wrote is too vague or wrong someone correct it. The toughest part was figuring out where to put the stuff. On 2021-11-07 10:21, Ken Farley wrote: Hope it works out for you.

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
Ken, Sure all those things are good to have but it is also important to record your problem and the solution you found if it is a general problem. Someone can come along and tidy it up and put it into context later and add technical details if necessary but the chances are they won't unless there is something there to work with unless they themselves have experienced the problem. The wiki is not indelible. ANy additions you make will be vetted and likely edited a bit so don't worry too much- give it a go.

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
I would think that someone updating such a thing would need to: (a) Have the proper credentials. I assume this but know nothing about Wiki editing. (b) Have conducted the proper tests to verify that the instructions are correct and will not cause harm to someone's system. (c) Have a much more detailed understanding of the oddities of Perl than my rudimentary knowledge. I *think* I understand what is going on, but am not entirely sure. We're talking about a good deal of upward facing palms and shrugging motions when it comes to Perl, for me. I'll look into it, however, to satisfy my curiosity.

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
Ken, thanks from me for that, too. I'd been able to get Finance::Quote to install from other installation instructions for macOS, but when I tried to use it I was getting authentication failures when F::Q tried to connect to a server using HTTPS. I think it was installing/updating Mozilla::CA that fixed that problem for me, probably something to do with the issues around the expiry of the DST_Root_CA_X3 certificate. However, to follow your suggestions, I still needed to use cpan -if for B:Keywords, because it failed its installation tests. Intel Mac, Monterey 12.0.1.

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks
Ken, Thanks for that, I haven't had FQ running on Big Sur since I upgraded to it during the beta's :-) Will try that on my iMac running Big Sur in a moment. It came good on my MacBook Pro after upgrading to Monterey and running gnc-fq-update I think it was but I still haven't got it running on BS. The modules you listed are all ones that FQ Update had issues with when I tried to update on BS so here goes :-) Cheers David H.
