I may be overlooking something, but I can't see the part of these  
instructions where they tell you to add an include for ledgersmb- 
httpd.conf

Maybe this is supposed to be done automagically by the install scripts?

Anyway, you should check:

$ sudo grep -iR ledgersmb-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:Include /etc/apache2/ledgersmb-httpd.conf
$

$ sudo grep -iR "\.pl" /etc/apache2/
/etc/apache2/modules.d/00_error_documents.conf:#ErrorDocument 404 "/ 
cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
/etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_autoindex.conf:AddIcon /icons/ 
p.gif .pl .py
/etc/apache2/ledgersmb-httpd.conf:  AddHandler cgi-script .pl
$

Note last line. Is it possible this is missing on your system?
