I'm way out of my league here, knowing very litle about perl and cpan.

However I did find www/p5-LWP-Protocol-https i n pkgsrc, so I installed 
it.

I get different errors now...

# gnucash-cli --quotes dump yahooweb AAPL AMD
main: Error on gnc_gbr_init: Unable to open /proc/self/maps for reading.
Finance::Quote reported a failure for symbol AAPL: 500 Header line too long (limit is 8192)
Finance::Quote reported a failure for symbol AMD: 500 Header line too long (limit is 8192)

And yahoojson looks like it contains useful data:

# gnucash-cli --quotes dump yahoojson AAPL AMD
main: Error on gnc_gbr_init: Unable to open /proc/self/maps for reading.
