In case it helps others, here's an update: I've worked around the problem by (1) downloading https://strawberryperl.com/download/5.32.1.1/strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-32bit.msi manually from my browser (Norton utilities did not block this) and (2) editing the installation script install-fq-mods.cmd to skip the download and go straight to the installation of Perl. Success: "This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int"
Then the next problem. Despite the above success message, the script exits with "Found perl version 0.0, but GnuCash requires at least version 5.8.". I opened another cmd window, entered "Perl -v" and got the same success message above. Conclusion: I do have Perl 5.32.1 I worked around this problem by running perl -w gnc-fq-update in a new cmd window, followed by gnc-fq-check and gnc-fq-helper. And the Security Editor no longer warns me that finance::quote is not installed. Looking good!
