It took me a while to reply because I was traveling. Back now.

Perhaps an older install was interfering. So I double-checked.

First uninstalled ActiveState via the Software control panel, then 
removed C:\Perl completely.

Reinstalled ActiveState Perl (5.20.1).

Ran install-fq-mods.cmd
This is a script supplied with gnucash that basically does some initial 
checks and then runs
perl -x -S ppm install Finance-Quote

Followed by a few simple checks (in a perl script):
require Finance::Quote;
Finance::Quote->import;
$quoter=Finance::Quote->new();
...some more checks

The "Finance::Qutoe->new()" call results in the aforementioned error. So 
it looks to me ActiveState is not handling its dependencies properly.
