Ashok, I have tried to replicate your issue on a new Windows 10 installation.
You said:-
"Did the cpan Date::Manip, but that freezes at the point of the below stage.
Have to "Ctrl"+C, ugly exit."
You need to be more patient, it wasn't frozen, just having a rest! The
complete installation process of all the necessary perl modules for price
quotes (if you use "gnc-fq-update" the recommended gnucash installer) took
about 30 minutes on my machine, and there were a couple of significant
pauses along the way.
Once you have successfully installed Finance::Quotes and all of its
dependencies, you will be able to get a quote for your fund:
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump -v amfiindia 106876
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: 106876 <=== required
date: 08/14/2020 <=== recommended
currency: INR <=== required
last: <=\
nav: 17.6037 <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional

I have also attached a screenshot of getting a quote from within gnucash -
don't forget to add your AlphaVantage API key first as explained here:
