He put the closing quote in on his previous try - see message with date 
"Thu, 26 Jun 2014 18:43:55 -0400".

His problem is the Windows commandline parser, which is mangling the line 
before Perl sees it. I get exactly the same on my (WinXP) system. Even
 perl -e'print $_'
gives the same missing-terminating-quote error.

The cure is to (a) use doublequotes around the -e command and (b) double 
the doublequotes around the enclosed string. So:

perl -MFinance::Quote -e"print ""Finance::Quote::VERSION\n"""

(that's one, two and three doublequotes respectively)
