Flavio, Ah, you followed the instructions on https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-manual/fq-install.html, so you used gnc-fq-update.
Perl does come with macOS, but it’s not the latest release and some people use Homebrew to get it. The Quote.pms you’ve got aren’t Finance::Quote, so the attempt to install it with gnc-fq-update failed. You ran sudo gnc-fq-update and that created a ~/.cpan owned by root, which is why attempting to run cpan Finance::Quote bailed with the permission error. What;s does ls ~/.cpan/build report?
