That Config::Std dependency caused me a lot of difficulty too. I was
installing to a clean Ubuntu Edgy vmware machine.

I'm confused by your post because:
2) Check New Dependencies
The Build.PL script can be used to test for unmet dependencies and
run other tests. It doesn't install anything yet, but it will tell
you what you are missing. To check for dependencies, run "perl
Build.PL" from the command line. Missing dependencies can generally
be installed via a Linux distributor's package manager or by CPAN.
[from the UPDATE file in ledgersmb-1.2.*.tar.gz]
I ran this and quite successfully met all the necessary dependencies,
although I have to admit that it was not immediately obvious from its
output which CPAN module met which dependency. I suspect this is the
nature of CPAN rather than a failing of `perl Build.PL`, however.
My inclination would be opposed to "a script that uses cpan to check
and install all modules".
Whereabouts on the filesystem would they go?
How would upgrades be handled?
Wouldn't they interfere with the CPAN modules supplied by my distro?
During the course of meeting L-SMB's dependencies I discovered that
Gentoo's package manager didn't itself provide a package to meet one
of the deps, but that it did offer a BRILLIANT alternative. Using the
package manage one installs the "app-portage/g-cpan" package, then
uses this to create a new ebuild (package) for the CPAN module one
requires. IMO all distros should have something similar.
Stroller.
PS: it looks like the dependency I had trouble with was "Config-Std".
Once I had the g-cpan package installed and looked it up on CPAN it
became amazingly easy to install this dep.
