The instruction to try the command 'i Date::Manip' assumes that you're running cpan as an interactive shell. The easiest way to do that is to open Strawberry Perl>CPAN Client from the Start menu. It seems that something has gotten borked with Strawberry's index. Try installing Date::Manip::Date instead: cpan -i Date::Manip::Date That actually installs all of Date::Manip. We can only hope that Strawberry gets its index fixed on the next build.
