I had the same error in Windows 7.
Can't locate Date/Manip.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Date::Manip 
module) (@INC contains: C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib 
C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib C:/strawberry/perl/lib .) at gnc-fq-helper line 
33.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at gnc-fq-helper line 33.

I did this to resolve it.

You can install the Date-Manip module in Windows 7 this way.
Open the Windows command prompt
Type “ppm” without the quotes and press enter
C:\Users\life0riley>ppm

Type “search Date” without the quotes and press enter
PPM> search Date

You should see Date-Manip as an available package
Type “install Date-Manip” without the quotes and press enter

Type exit to close the exit the PPM utility.

Re-run the Install Online Price Retrieval for GnuCash
You should now get the message that says installation succeeded.

I used this as a guide to install the Date::Manip module.
