"Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC" solution

The the person who, like me, was getting this error when trying to run 
"perl Build.pl": I have found a solution.

You must use cpan to install the "Build" package.  It does not say this in 
the README.debian file where it lists the other Debian cpan targets, and 
the dists/debian/ file about cpan is not clear on what one is to do (at 
least, it is not clear to an infrequent cpan user).

So:

cpan
install Build
q

should do the trick for you.  If you're anything like me however, you'll 
get a bunch of errors from cpan while it does the install, resulting in a 
failed make.
This is not particularly ideal (cpan output attached), but the resulting 
dubious installation does work enough to let you run the Build.pl script.

I hate to say it, but it is for reasons such as this, that SQL-Ledger has 
all of the redundant internal constructs that it does.  No, that isn't a 
good idea either, but PERL packaging is still a bit stoneage when you put 
it against something like apt.

Regards,

Luke

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9205) available!
  [Current version is v1.7602]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
  while we are running...
