With Perl, "correctly" can be a subjective term. Both cpan and cpanm can 
be configured to install Perl Modules in different locations including 
the default Perl include path (@INC). My guess is that although cpanm 
installed FQ in /home/perl5/lib/perl5/Finance/Quote (is that 
/home/perl5/... or /home/<yourlogin>/...), that directory is not part of 
your INC path (what is the output of "perl -V"?). I also would not be 
surprised if cpanm did not install some other modules underneath 
/home/perl5/lib/perl5.

I would try the following.

Add "export PERL5LIB=/home/perl5/lib/perl5" to your "~/.bashrc" file and 
"PERL5LIB=/home/perl5/lib/perl5" /etc/gnucash/environment. Log out and 
back in that try gnc-fq-check.

Or run cpanm as root or with the "--sudo" option.

Hope this helps.
