Changed (or added) modules are not usually available until a full F::Q 
release is pushed to CPAN. What some users might do is pull the changed 
module from Github using wget or curl to replace the failing module on 
their computer (for FTfunds.pm that would be 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/refs/heads/master/lib/Finance/Quote/FTfunds.pm 
).

Occasionally interim releases are uploaded to CPAN. These would need to 
be installed using something like "cpan 
BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.69_01.tar.gz". In your case you would have to 
look for "Finance-Quote-1.70_0?.tar.gz" since the change to FTfunds.pm 
was merged after the v1.70 release. You would be able to check if an 
interim release exists by looking at the list of files in 
https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BP/BPSCHUCK/

On a related note, it appears MorningstarUK has begun using JavaScript 
based anti-webscraping. Unfortunately it will likely be dropped from F::Q.
