in thread A permanent fix for the Windows 'manifest' issue?

It was uploaded yesterday and hasn't replicated to your CPAN mirror yet.

Or maybe you're using a cached module listing. Try reload index

Or you could try adding mirror ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/pub/CPAN/. It has it.

You can always download the archive and installing it without using cpan. 

perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

[download]

(s/nmake/dmake/ for Strawberry Perl?)

    I'd already tried downloading and installing v6.50 manually but even after a "successful" nmake install, Perl was still finding v6.48.

    Apparently, doing a manual install puts it into perl/lib whereas CPAN puts it into perl/site/lib (or maybe vice versa). So I had to blow away the installed dirs in both paths and redo the manual install to get it to take.

    Once done, it definitely improves things, though there is still one R6034 runtime error during the testing (of mod://PDL] which I will attempt to track down). That required a force install to get PDL installed, but it mostly seems to work.

      you can add the PREFIX=perl/site param to the perl Makefile.pl to force it to go where you want it.
