Looks like you are correct:

steve at stevesdesktop:~/Downloads$ sudo find / -name "libjson-xs-perl*" 2>/dev/null

This is starting to come back to me now. IIFC, the version of perl that
came with my distribution did not have a Finance module and I ended up
with a separate version of Perl that did have Finance. I've done several
dist-upgrades since then so I'm going to delete the separate perl
version and attempt to install the Finance module from the distribution
perl.

Thanks,
Steve
