On that hardware it certainly shouldn't need minutes to finish. It's just strange:

$ time perl -Ilib t/perl/manifest.t
1..3
ok 1 - MANIFEST exists
ok 2 - MANIFEST.SKIP exists
# this may take a while...
ok 3 - manicheck()

real    0m6.796s

This is on a PowerBook G4 with 1.2 GHz - certainly not a fast system, ~7 seconds for the test is a pita (if you run it really a lot per day, but else not a problem)

With ...

$ time perl t/harness t/perl/manifest.t
t/perl/manifest....ok 2/3# this may take a while...

... I see the diag message too, but it may be OS dependent ... hmm ... no problem on x86 linux (and a lot faster (1 sec) than on OS/X).

Which OS are you using?
