[GNC] 5.5-1 crashing on macOS 14.3

[David Reiser]

We are now into my mental weeds as far as real knowledge goes, but I have had some success at thrashing around to fix self-induced perl challenges.

Since the error happens on both architectures, that suggests something is missing. I think YahooWeb is relatively recent in the F::Q realm. And F::Q hasn’t managed dependency declarations as well as I’d like. 

The error complains about a ‘row method’. YahooWeb uses HTML::TableExtract which might be the source of the row information. Try installing the appropriate arch version of HTML::TableExtract on each machine and see if that works.
