[GNC] Finance::Quote not properly installed on macOS Catalina 10.15.6

[ahabib]

Gnucash 4.1 on macOS Catalina 10.15.6

I am not very familiar with perl and was having a lot of difficulty
installing Finance::Quote. It kept giving me write permission errors and not
being able to find Extern.h

Wading through the various help forums, I finally found out that I needed to
point perl to my local directory and changed my shell config file (.zshrc)
to include the following entries:

PATH="/Users/ahabib/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;
PERL5LIB="/Users/ahabib/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"; export
PERL5LIB;
PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="/Users/ahabib/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}}";
export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT;
PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"/Users/ahabib/perl5\""; export PERL_MB_OPT;
PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/Users/ahabib/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT;
CPATH=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE

I was then able to install Finance::Quote 1.49 in my local Perl5 directory:
/Users/ahabib/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/Quote

I have checked that Finance::Quote works by running gnc-fq-dump and
gnc-fq-check. Both work and retrieve quotes as well as currency. I am using
the alpha vantage api key as well.

When I run Gnucash and go to Security Editor, then click on the Add button,
it shows:

     Warning: Finance::Quote not installed properly

and all of the bottom half of the security editor screen is inaccessible.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
