But I don't understand wny the GUI app of GnuCash apparently can find Finance::Quote when run from the GUI, but the gnucash-cli app apparently cannot. What is different?

Because applications started by LaunchServices don't get the environment from your shell's startup files. That means GnuCash is running /usr/bin/perl, not /opt/local/bin/perl but when you run a program from Terminal the environment is read so gnucash-cli runs /opt/local/bin/perl.
