Thank you John! I ran the commands you provided and Finance::Quote works for 
the first time since I got my M1 MacBook Air! I’ve been watching the 
Finance::Quote threads on the list the last few months, always hoping for a 
solution I could manage to I implement to fix the issue. No doubt I could have 
missed this if it was posted before, regardless you just made my day.

For what it’s worth, my install of GnuCash was done the standard way - 
downloading the DMG from the website. 

Also, to make the solution crystal clear to those who are not as good on the 
command line, there was a typo in John’s most recent advice of the commands to 
run. It is B::Keywords (capital K):

sudo cpan -i Test2; sudo cpan -f -i B::Keywords; sudo cpan -i Finance::Quote

Very gratefully, 
Colin
