On windows having that version line on Help --> About confirms sanity check for 
Finance::Quote presence. 

I could be wrong on this but IMHO means that Strawberry Perl is installed 
properly, that F::Q module is installed and its dependencies are in place, that 
GnuCash can see F::Q module, and is now ready to download pricing information. 
It confirms that there was a successful instantiation of it from GnuCash, and 
that it ran successfully to retrieve version string which is available from 
inside of the F::Q module.

I checked, they were the same sources once sorted.  The perl 1-liner seems to 
list the sources differently each time and in no obvious order.

I'm not sure what exactly is tested for that display, do we know that it means 
a fully working F::Q ?
