Please verify the version of Finance::Quote. On Linux:

$ perl -MFinance::Quote -e 'print "$Finance::Quote::VERSION\n"'
1.57

On Windows:

C:\Users\bschuck>perl -MFinance::Quote -e "print 
qq{{$Finance::Quote::VERSION\n}}"
{1.57
}

C:\Users\bschuck>gnucash-cli -Q dump alphavantage QQQ
Finance::Quote fields GnuCash uses:
     symbol: QQQ             <=== required
       date: 07/26/2023      <=== recommended
   currency: USD             <=== required
       last: 377.5200        <=\
        nav:                 <=== one of these
      price:                 <=/

You should also be able to execute the example perl script that comes 
with the Finance::Quote module package.

Since you are on Windows and recently installed Finance::Quote:

 > cd C:\Strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.57-0

C:\Strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.57-0>perl Examples\stockdump.pl 
alphavantage QQQ
