You have two versions of Finance::Quote installed.  The above one is an
old version that should probably be removed.

I don't know.  CPAN shows that 1.11 is available...

http://search.cpan.org/~pjf/Finance-Quote-1.11/lib/Finance/Quote.pm

...and all the update-finance-quote script does is call CPAN to upgrade
your system.  Maybe your local cpan mirror isn't up to date?  I just ran
update-finance-quote on a test system and it installed 1.11.

P.S. I used the mirror at
ftp://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/cpan .
