You probably figured out that you couldn’t run gnc-fq-update directly because it’s not on $PATH. All of the gnc-fq-foo scripts are in Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin.
It’s disappointing that attempting to run xcrun no longer pops up a dialog offering to install command-line tools. It’s also unfortunate that Apple hasn’t updated perl for 10 years so the installed MakeMaker is out of date.
