That's our fault. gnc-fq-update says:

 CPAN::Shell->install('LWP');
 CPAN::Shell->install('Date::Manip');
 CPAN::Shell->install('Mozilla::CA');
 CPAN::Shell->install('HTML::Parser');
 CPAN::Shell->install('HTML::TableExtract');
 CPAN::Shell->install('Crypt::SSLeay');
 CPAN::Shell->install('Finance::Quote');

I imagine the original idea was to avoid all of the "follow dependency" questions from cpan, but it's clearly obsolete.
