Another thought, though: You passed just one symbol at a time to stock dumper.pl. When I pass both, I get
~/.cpan/build/finance-quote/Examples/stockdump.pl fondsweb LU0119891520 LU2027374805

$VAR1 = {
          'LU0119891520last' => '708.99',
          'LU2027374805date' => '03/05/2021',
          'LU0119891520isin' => 'LU0119891520941135',
          'LU0119891520method' => 'fondsweb',
          'LU0119891520success' => 1,
          'LU2027374805nav' => '708.99',
          'LU0119891520type' => 'fund',
          'LU2027374805name' => 'MEDICAL BioHealth EURMorgan Stanley INVF Global Endurance Fund (USD) Z',
          'LU2027374805isodate' => '2021-03-05',
          'LU2027374805currency' => 'EUR',
          'LU0119891520year_range' => '807.77 - 414.77',
          'LU0119891520nav' => '708.99',
          'LU2027374805success' => 1,
          'LU2027374805last' => '708.99',
          'LU0119891520date' => '03/05/2021',
          'LU2027374805method' => 'fondsweb',
          'LU2027374805isin' => 'LU0119891520941135',
          'LU2027374805year_range' => '807.77 - 414.77',
          'LU0119891520currency' => 'EUR',
          'LU0119891520isodate' => '2021-03-05',
          'LU0119891520name' => 'MEDICAL BioHealth EUR',
          'LU2027374805type' => 'fund'
        };

While if I do 
~/.cpan/build/finance-quote/Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json CSCO AAPL
I get
$VAR1 = {
          'CSCOlast' => '46.25',
          'AAPLvolume' => 153766501,
          'AAPLhigh' => '121.935',
          'CSCOpe' => '19.351463',
          'AAPLname' => 'AAPL (Apple Inc.)',
          'AAPLopen' => '120.98',
          'AAPLcurrency' => 'USD',
          'CSCOisodate' => '2021-03-05',
          'CSCOdate' => '03/05/2021',
          'CSCOeps' => '2.39',
          'CSCOtype' => 'EQUITY',
          'CSCOexchange' => 'Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)',
          'CSCOmethod' => 'yahoo_json',
          'CSCOlow' => '45.27',
          'AAPLsymbol' => 'AAPL',
          'CSCOclose' => '44.56',
          'AAPLdiv_yield' => '0.67177224',
          'CSCOyear_range' => '        32.4 - 49.34',
          'CSCOsuccess' => 1,
          'CSCOcurrency' => 'USD',
          'CSCOhigh' => '46.74',
          'CSCOopen' => '45.4455',
          'AAPLpe' => '32.931923',
          'CSCOname' => 'CSCO (Cisco Systems, Inc.)',
          'CSCOvolume' => 33197580,
          'AAPLlast' => '121.42',
          'AAPLtype' => 'EQUITY',
          'AAPLisodate' => '2021-03-05',
          'AAPLeps' => '3.687',
          'AAPLdate' => '03/05/2021',
          'AAPLlow' => '117.57',
          'AAPLexchange' => 'Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)',
          'AAPLmethod' => 'yahoo_json',
          'AAPLsuccess' => 1,
          'AAPLyear_range' => '     53.1525 - 145.09',
          'AAPLclose' => '120.13',
          'CSCOdiv_yield' => '3.2315977',
          'CSCOsymbol' => 'CSCO'
        };

So ISTM the problem is that Fondsweb.pm isn't able to handle batched requests.
