No, I was using 5.14.2. (64 bit).

Presumably this is only true under Linux.  Under Windows,
install-fq-mods.cmd from both GC 2.4.11 and 2.4.12 deliver 

Nor do I find any indication in the cmd script that it tries to install (any
version of) perl.

Thanks for the very informative references.
I was able to get F::Q 1.18 installed by upgrading ActivePerl to 5.16.3 (64
bit).
This necessitated first not only uninstalling 5.14.2, but also deleting both
the GnuCash and perl64 directories.  Perhaps it would have been enough to
delete perl64.  Since I deleted both at once, I can't say for sure.  IAC,
when I tried to run install-fq-mods.cmd after simply uninstalling and
reinstalling, it complained that it couldn't find perl514.dll.
The bottom line is that I now have F::Q 1.18 working under both GC 2.4.12
and GC 2.4.11.
Thanks for your support!
