Pb installing Date::Manip with cpan

I am struggling for one day installing date: with cpan (I am using os x). I always get this message 

Warning: prerequisite Test::Inter 0 not found.
Bareword found where operator expected at ./Makefile.PL line 1, near "30 mtime"
    (Missing operator before mtime?)

Does anyone knows how to debug ?

I ran into the same issue and these steps worked for me:

> sudo cpan
cpan[1]> install CPAN
cpan[2]> exit
> sudo rm -rf ~/.cpan/build/SBECK-*
> sudo cpan Date::Manip

Start by installing YAML.pm and Test::Iter.pm

But. You might not want to mess with the system perl on OS X.

You might want to give serious consideration to using perlbrew to manage a local install of perl wiith its own set of modules, separate form the system install.
