How about reading the docs in the download itself?
There are upgrade insructions on the download page of SQL-Ledger.

*Upgrading from any version > 1.2.7 to the latest version* Upgrading is 
easy. Load setup.pl from the sql-ledger root directory and select 
Upgrade. The script will lock everyone out and install the new code over 
top. The only thing left to do is to log in to upgrade a dataset.

To upgrade manually load admin.pl and Lock the system. Download the new 
code and untar over top and fix the permissions according to the UPGRADE 
<http://www.sql-ledger.com/source/upgrade/> file in the doc directory. 
Most of the time there is nothing else to be done. Load admin.pl and 
Unlock the system. When a user logs in the Dataset is upgraded 
automatically, you do not have to do anything. If other steps are 
required, i.e template modifications, they will be listed in the UPGRADE 
file.
You *DO NOT* have to install intermediate versions to upgrade to the 
latest version! Intermediate upgrades are done for you.


Almost foolproof it would seem?
