Date::Manip install from cpan fails on mac - can't find ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Question

I am trying to install Date::Manip on Mac OS X 10.10 using cpan. I have Xcode and command line tools installed. When I type

sudo cpan -i Date::Manip I see the following error:

---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
----       SBECK/Date-Manip-6.59.tar.gz       ----
ExtUtils::MakeMaker [build_requires]`  

This doesn't make sense, because ExtUtils::MakeMaker is already installed on my system:

$ cpan -D ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Installed: 6.66
CPAN:      7.30  Not up to date

I don't understand why the Date::Manip install can't find it.

The installer next tries to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker (since it thinks it's missing), and that installation fails. That may be a separate issue, but I'm not concerned with that at the moment - I just want to get Date::Manip installed, using the current version of MakeMaker.

How can I get cpan to locate and use the current installed version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker?

Date::Manip requires version 6.67_01 of MakeMaker, and you only have 6.66. See: https://metacpan.org/source/SBECK/Date-Manip-6.59/META.json

So figure out why the MakeMaker install is failing. Or install SBECK/Date-Manip-6.53.tar.gz or earlier.
