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

[Kalpesh Patel]

Peter,

I may have not been clear in what I stated. 

If you have installed OpenSSL in anyway (natively hopefully it compiled and installed with no issue; or through homebrew) then installing those additional modules in Perl is not going to cause any problems. Just install them in that order.

I also recommend to run:

#cpanm --scandeps Finance::Quote

To see if there is anything that is missing or broken that it complains. Add '-v' to print lots of info to review. After that only thing I can think is that somehow your OpenSSL and native Perl are NOT cooperating as there may have been need for headers file that might not be present and make decided to work around it during install. This might mean writing small Perl script to debug.

Alternate I can suggest is to run

openssl s_client -showcerts -servername <website_name> -connect <website_name>:443 </dev/null

to see if you are getting proper cert through OpenSSL (which you likely are getting since Curl is working). Replace <website_name> with the URL where you are fetching the prices from in the command. 

Perhaps you may also want to try to see if F::Q works with another pricing source (Yahoo for example) and be able to fetch pricing from there. You will have to work through all these to find a single thing that is hick-upping.

Hi, Kalpesh, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm using the macOS native version of Perl, not homebrew, and so OpenSSL hasn't been installed using homebrew. I'm not sure whether any of the other modules you've suggested are needed in my setup.

Cheers,
Peter
