Here is the code (same as yours) 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Finance::Quote;

getquote('googl', '20140822');
my $s;
sub getquote
{
    my ($sym, $qdate) = @_;
        $sym          = uc($sym);
    my  $quote        = Finance::Quote->new;
    my  @exchanges    = sort($quote->sources);

    $quote->timeout(60);
    $quote->require_labels(qw/price date high low volume/);
    $quote->set_currency('USD');

    my $exch = 'usa';
    my %info = $quote->fetch($exch, $sym, 'A', 'MSFT');

    if (!%info)
    {
        $s = "getquote ERROR: No information returned for symbol $sym 
+from $exch";
        warn $s;
        return;
    }

    my $dt = $info{$sym, 'date'};
    print "Price of $sym is " . $info{$sym, 'price'} . ' for ' . $dt .
+ "\n"; # DEBUG
