Okay, so I put my findings into the Wiki. Turns out it's relatively easy. Hopefully if something I wrote is too vague or wrong someone correct it. The toughest part was figuring out where to put the stuff.

Hope it works out for you. I noticed there are sporadic questions
about this kind of thing and thought it might be nice to have a place
where all the stuff that worked for someone (me, in this case) is
spelled out in a straightforward fashion, rather than spread over a
whole heap of messages.
So glad the GTK-3 stuff I figured out for 3.11 is still okay for 4.8.
Also, the speed of loading on the M1 is really remarkable. What used
to take a bit of time is almost a blink and you miss it.

Ken,

Thanks for that, I haven't had FQ running on Big Sur since I upgraded to it 
during the beta's :-)  Will try that on my iMac running Big Sur in a moment.  
It came good on my MacBook Pro after upgrading to Monterey and running 
gnc-fq-update I think it was but I still haven't got it running on BS.  The 
modules you listed are all ones that FQ Update had issues with when I tried to 
update on BS so here goes :-)

Cheers David H.

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...
