This may have something to do with having the Git user tools installed at the same time as Strawberry Perl.

Yup, changing PATH to put C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl at the front fixed it. This is kind of a bug in Strawberry Perl, but not specifically in Date::Manip, so I am closing it.

I don't use strawberry (or any other windows perl at this point), and I'm so far removed from perl development on windows that I'm not sure how much use I'll be. I downloaded strawberry perl. You didn't mention a version, so I went with the current (5.26.0.2). Then I used the CPAN shell to install Date::Manip, and it worked just fine. ... and I see you figured it out.

What git tools package do you have installed? I went to look for it and found a number of git packages for windows. If this is a problem other users are likely to encounter, I'd like to make a note of it in the docs... but if it's a weird corner case, I will just ignore it.
