Your perl installation is broken somehow.  All the dump-finance-quote
program is doing is making a call to perl, asking "do you have this
module?"  The left hand of perl says no, the right hand (when you run
update-finance-quote) says yes.

You've provided no specifics as to what kind of system you're using.  Is
it Mac OS, Linux (which distribution), something else?  You're running
gnucash 1.8 based on the commands you're using.  (2.0.1 is the latest.)
What do you get from the command "find /usr -name Quote.pm"?
