Hmmph. I thought cpan kept its settings in ~/.cpan.

Well, you can rerun the setup -- all of those questions -- from the cpan shell:
  sudo cpan
  o conf init
will start the questions thing. The defaults now will be your previous answers, so accepting them all will leave you where you started. The command to quit the cpan shell is q, and running just
  o conf
will display all of the configuration settings.

Dunno if that's *the* problem, but it's surely a blocker, so let's start with it.

I checked CPAN  and find it available: http://search.cpan.org/~cjm/HTML-Tree-5.03/lib/HTML/TreeBuilder.pm

So try this in Terminal:
  sudo cpan -i HTML::TreeBuilder

And see what happens. If it succeeds, try 
  sudo cpan -i Finance::Quote

Or, if you're still in the cpan shell from looking over your config, you can say
  install HTML::TreeBuilder
instead.
