[GNC] Access problems fetching shares prices from, Australian Stock Exchange

[Peter Lamb]

Hi, Bruce, John.

I tried just updating Net::SSLeay (to 1.96). It didn't help.

When I tried to update Crypt::OpenSSL, I got:

    % sudo cpan Crypt::OpenSSL
    Reading '/Users/prl/.cpan/Metadata'
       Database was generated on Sun, 12 Jul 2026 23:41:02 GMT
    Could not expand [Crypt::OpenSSL]. Check the module name.
    I can suggest names if you install one of Text::Levenshtein::XS,
    Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS, Text::Levenshtein, and
    Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::PP
    and you provide the -x option on invocation.
    Skipping Crypt::OpenSSL because I couldn't find a matching namespace.
    %

And Perl itself denies that it knows anything about Crypt::OpenSSL:

    % perl -mCrypt::OpenSSL
    Can't locate Crypt/OpenSSL.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
    Crypt::OpenSSL module) (@INC contains:
    /Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.34
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.34
    /Library/Perl/Updates/5.34.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Library/Perl/Updates/5.34.1
    /System/Library/Perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /System/Library/Perl/5.34
    /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.34).
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
    %

Both done with my PERLLIB unset in the shell I ran the commands from.

This is despite the fact that Crypt/OpenSSL exists in a number of of 
Perl's @INC directories.

Cheers,
Peter
