Right. The original 1.3 release pre-dates the Debian Wheezy release by
quite a few months.

Actually, did you mean Debian Testing (Jessie) here? Or do you mean Debian
Stable (Wheezy, the successor to Squeeze)? Anyway, I'm running my 1.3
instances on Wheezy, so, there's really no need to dig out Squeeze to run
LedgerSMB. But you're probably right that we need to update the INSTALL
file. Actually, I did update the INSTALL file for 1.4 just last week and
the dependencies between 1.3.35 and 1.4 are largely the same. You can find
the updated dependencies here:

On my most recent 1.4(trunk) install, I didn't need any modules from CPAN
on Wheezy. Thanks to the efforts by Robert J. Clay (Jame), there's a
version of LedgerSMB packaged for Wheezy (1.3.18) which means that all
required dependencies should be readily available.
If you ask me if you should use the version pre-packaged for Wheezy, I'm
inclined to answer "no" though: there are a lot of fixes and enhancements
which made it into 1.3.35 since 1.3.18 which you would have to do without.

Definitely not; since Squeeze doesn't receive security updates anymore, I'd
strongly advise against going that route.
If you ask me, there are a number of ways to get 1.3.35 onto a Wheezy
system:
1. Contact Robert James Clay to see if he can create a package for 1.3.35
for testing and publish a backport which you could install on Wheezy
2. Install Debian's 1.3.18 package, study the file structure and replace
the files the package installs with the ones that are in 1.3.35
3. Check the package for dependencies (required and recommended) and
install those, and install LedgerSMB from either the tar archive or the
Subversion source repository
