perldoc date::manip
That's a broken example. If you're going to use an example, use a proper one:
localhost:~ % perldoc date::manip No documentation found for "date::manip". localhost:~ % perldoc Date::Manip [page shown]
It's case sensitive.

    True on nix-ish OS, untrue on winders:
    C:\>perldoc date::manip NAME Date::Manip - date manipulation routines SYNOPSIS use Date::Manip; ....

    Nonetheless, your point re a correct and generic form is well taken. TY.
