However I am pleased to announce::: I have butchered it into working:

Inspired by the i /xxx/ search construct:

cpan[13]> i /Date-Manip-5.44/
No objects found of any type for argument /Date-Manip-5.44/

                                                                                                                                                              cpan[14]> i /Date-Manip/
Distribution    SBECK/Date-Manip-5.56.tar.gz
Distribution    SBECK/Date-Manip-6.07.tar.gz
2 items found

                                                                                                                                                              cpan[15]> install SBECK/Date-Manip-5.56.tar.gz

.Prepending /root/.cpan/build/Date-Manip-5.56-qLlV8E/blib/arch 
/root/.cpan/build/Date-Manip-5.56-qLlV8E/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'install'
Building Date-Manip
Installing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Date/Manip.pod
Installing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Date/Manip.pm

Installing /usr/share/man/man3/Date::Manip::DM5abbrevs.3pm

   ./Build install  -- OK

So it allowed an earlier version by specific reference to the author/tar 
combo.

Now for perl Makefile.pl again...
