Hi!

The Date::Manip module has been updated on 31 Oct 2012. It added a new
dependency Test::Inter. And I'd say you should install YAML also

>From Terminal try these:

  $> sudo cpan   ### ENTER YOUR ADMIN PASSWORD WHEN ASKED
  cpan> clean Date::Manip   ### this cleans up the mess in Date::Manip
  ...
  cpan> install YAML
  ...
  cpan> install Test::Inter
  ...
  cpan> install Date::Manip
  ...

If at any stage you get error messages: Don't continue the other steps,
but post the log here.
