Chances are you just need to make sure perl (as installed from source) can
see the Debian perl packages. try this:
locate ConfigDb.pm
if it shows a path, as it probably will, something like:
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfigDb.pm
you can link the Debconf directory to somewhere perl will look.
You can find out where perl will look with:
perl -V
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1
/usr/share/perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005
