Mike,

It's better to use a Debian package where possible. You would be better
to set apt to use an internet connection rather than DVD. You can then
get the latest packages and do updates. Say if you want help with
setting apt up for that.

Secondly are you trying to install ledgersmb using the deb from
Sourceforge or the tar.gz? The 'Build.PL' you referred to is present in
the tar.gz but not in the deb, and doesn't seem to be necessary as I
tested a deb install yesterday.
