John,
I *know* how CPAN works. Typically the default MyConfig.

As I explained in my previous, cpan needs to write to /Library/Perl/3.40/, a

is there a way to convert a Gnucash file in XML format to SQLite format

I know I can do Save As in the Gnucash UI, but I would like to do it

Bruce,

/opt/homebrew. See https://docs.brew.sh/Installation, second sentence in the
second paragraph.

Actually, now that you describe it, I've had many such transactions, although
the brokerage called them "adjustments". I've always just entered them the same

The actual dividend is negative. Money is taken from my cash account.

While there is such a thing as a "negative stock dividend", it is a term
for when a company pays a dividend even though they they lost money -- that
is, their net income was negative. This makes the dividend yield negative,
not the actual dividend.
In reality, the dividend itself is still a paid d
