so you are using debian lenny, correct ?
I strongly suggest you to wait the exit of Koha 3.0.2 (it's quite near).
For lenny there much more debian packages, also for MARC::xx modules

If you don't want to wait (and to test/debug problems) you can
install the Koha 3.0.x maintenance (it will became version 3.0.2).
It is sure you will see problems and bugs.
To install now Koha 3.0.x maintenance yiu need to use git.
The link to the source code:
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-maintenance.git;a=summary

Basic command to download Koha 3.0.x maintenance with git:
git clone 
git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha-maintenance.git  whateveryouwanttocallyourrepo
cd /your_path/_your_repo
git pull

more complete information here:

An other option is:
-- disinstall all modules you have installed with CPAN
-- install all packages [from lenny repo and Indexdata/lenny repos] 
listed here:
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-maintenance.git;a=blob_plain;f=install_misc/debian-lenny.packages;hb=HEAD
-- from cpan install only Algorithm::CheckDigits, SMS::Send, HTTP::OAI, JSON.
and continue the installation.
I'm not sure it is working but probably yes.

The most sure option: wait 3.0.2.
You can also help the translation of 3.02 here: http://translate.koha.org/
