Hi, Bruce, thanks for the clarification. This is an area of Perl where I 
have very little experience.

I had:

Net::SSLeay 1.96
LWP::Protocol::https 6.07

And I don't have Crypt::SSLeay installed. doing a find over all of @INC 
only turns up Net/SSLeay directories, and no Crypt/SSLeay directories.

I updated LWP::Protocol::https (now 6.15), and that didn't help, either 
with a bare Perl test or with Gnucash.

I tried installing Crypt::SSLeay, but it failed:

    % sudo cpan Crypt::SSLeay

It looks like I'm missing some libraries, but I have no idea how to get 
them or even where they would be expected to be found.

Cheers, and thanks for your help,
Peter
