I just downloaded Date-Manip-6.52 from CPAN, and the afcasa00 timezone module is present, and I was able to run make with no errors. Are you downloading the package from CPAN, or from some other source? Off hand, it looks to me like you've got a version that was incompletely packaged, but without more information, I can't say that for sure.

Any word on this? It doesn't seem to be a bug in Date::Manip, so unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to close this ticket.

This happened on a Windows system --- probably there was a system limit hit which does not happen on Unix systems. Maybe interesting: the generated Makefile on my linux system has some relevant MM variables as comments. The META_ADD comment is very long. And the "Date::Manip::TZ::afcasa00" string happens to start at column 32768. Just an idea...

Exactly 32K! Can't be coincidence. I'm not sure what (if anything) I can do to tweak the windows install process from inside the module, but I'll look into this. Can you tell me a little about the windows environment (i.e. is it ActiveState or some other windows version)? I'm not a windows user, but I'll see what I can do to research a fix. Thanks

I think I just found the answer. Googling '32k perl' found it (big thanks to SREZIC for pointing that out) and I found that ExtUtils::MM_Win32 (part of ExtUtils::MakeMaker) talks about this in a comment. dmake has a max line limit in it that causes problems. That limit was bumped up drastically in ExtUtils-MakeMaker 6.67_01 Could someone (Quin or SREZIC) confirm that you are using a version of MakeMaker that is older than 6.67_01? If that is the case, I'd love to have you upgrade that to something newer and try again. If this fixes the problem, I'll just add that a newer version of MakeMaker is required. Thanks

I am adding a requirement that ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.67_01 be used, and that should resolve this problem.
