UPDATE
With thanks to those who advised me on this problem, I've finally managed to
install the latest version of Finance::Quote and get it working. It wasn't as
straightforward as I'd expected, and I ended up reinstalling Perl a couple of
times in case that was the problem, but it turns out that the Start menu item
“Install Online Price Retrieval for Gnucash” proved unreliable, as did the use
of cmd command 'gnc-fq-update', and after several unsuccessful attempts, I
searched the internet and found a very useful step-by-step guide that helped me
achieve a successful outcome.
In case anyone else faces similar problems with installing Finance::Quote, this
is how I did it:
Following additional guidance from
https://learn.perl.org/installing/windows.html, I carried out the following
steps:
Uninstall old version of Strawberry PerlDownload and install the latest version
of Strawberry Perl.Install App::cpanminus by typing 'cpan App::cpanminus' into
cmd Install Finance::Quote by typing 'cpanm Finance::Quote' into cmd
I rebooted the computer between each stage, just in case that helped, and
GnuCash now shows the latest version of Finance::Quote and downloads stock
prices as it used to.

Hi Alan
It looks like the install has failed for some reason as the modules
should be under: C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\
The entries under "perl\vendor" are not related to Finance::Quote and
are irrelevant.
I suggest that you try to install it again. The installation can be a
bit fiddly as there are a number of dependencies, and some modules take
a while.
You can do this with the GnuCash installer. Open a command prompt as
administrator and type:-
perl C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update
Or directly by downloading from here:-
https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote
Good luck!

Geoff
