I wouldn’t do a global upgrade, just Date::Time and Finance::Quote (that’s what gnc-fq-update does). On macOS you have to prefix the command with sudo.

Start off with a cleanup, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Clean_up_previous_installs, then run gnc-fq-update, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Installing_Finance::Quote_on_macOS_from_a_Terminal_prompt. If you have more than one perl installed make sure to only use /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/cpan because they’re the only ones that GnuCash can see when it’s launched from Finder, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Perl_runtime_location.
