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.
Thanks again,
Peter

Not a question, just my notes on how I got Finance::Quote to work on a
new Mac Mini M1.
Operating system is OS X 11.6 (Big Sur)
GnuCash Version is 4.8 (from the -2.dmg)
My initial install left me unable to download quotes (via
Finance::Quote). Research online eventually led to a Reddit discussion
about similar problems. Apparently the root cause of the trouble was
that module Mozilla::CA provides certificates for inquiries, but was
not installed with the default Perl. Sequence of installs necessary
for success was:
sudo cpan -i B::Keywords
sudo cpan -i Test2
sudo cpan -i DateTime
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Locale
sudo cpan -i DateTime::Format::Strptime
sudo cpan -i Mozilla::CA
Once those are all done then go to:
/Applications/Gnucash/Contents/Resources/bin
and run the Finance::Quote fixing script:
sudo ./gnc-fq-update
After all the above, all the wonderful quotes were downloaded
beautifully. Now, if I could only get the courage to "upgrade" to
Monterey...
