Which didn't work for me when I tried it.

What *did* work was to run "install CPAN" (from inside sudo cpan) after deleting the SBECK* directory, then running "install Date::Manip". It will want to update a lot of stuff as part of installing Date::Manip, so a bit of patience is needed.

Note that every time authors/SBECK-foo gets created, the foo part has a different value, so the only instance of SBECK-Dklzli was on my system that one time. That may have been the reason why my surgical approach failed for both Matt and Deane.
