This is also covered in the INSTALL document:

Lines 120 - 139:

  8) Check 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

  Missing dependencies can generally be installed via a Linux
  distribution's package manager, or by CPAN. (Build.PL itself uses
  Module::Build, which is available in packages like perl-Module-Build
  or libmodule-build-perl.)

  Once this is done and dependencies are satisfied, you can check to  
see
  whether the installation nominally works by running:

  $ ./Build test

  The test suites currently check to make sure all the perl modules  
load
  and that a number of numeric tests are passed.


I'm not sure what the documentation procedure is for SQL-Ledger, but  
advise the OP to take a look in the ledgersmb directory (/usr/local/ 
ledgersmb/? The directory you unpacked from the tarball you  
downloaded) and take a read of each of these files:

$ ls /usr/local/ledgersmb/ | grep -E ^[A-Z]+$

Personally, I prefer to use the distro's package manager, if possible,  
in preference to calling CPAN directly. I fear that, if I do that, my  
distro's package manager may later clobber the files because it  
doesn't know about them.
