[Koha] Error Installing XML::Simple module

I am having the same problem as Krsnendu dasa did with the install of XML::Simple, with the same error messages. (Error installing perl modules XML-Simple on K12LTSP-6 (Fedora Core 6) However, I am using Debian sarge, so I do not have the yum system available. And I can't find any perl modules in the apt repository with that name. Is there an apt-get package which would install that module? Also, I installed sarge using Linux version 2.6.8, since earlier versions do not support my SATA harddrive.
