After some tweaking and installing lots of random perl modules using 
apt-get, I can now log in, but get this apache log error, repeated with 
every instance of the login page:

Name "Config::Std::Hash::DEMOLISH" used only once: possible typo at 
/usr/share/perl5/Class/Std.pm line 523.

What does this mean?

I'm flying blind, but followed your advice and "ran" Build.PL, with 
output that looks like this:


..hidden..:/usr/local/ledgersmb # perl Build.PL
No 'module_name' was provided and it could not be inferred
from other properties.  This will prevent a packlist from
being written for this file.  Please set either 'module_name'
or 'dist_version_from' in Build.PL.
Creating new 'MYMETA.yml' with configuration results
ERROR: Missing required field 'dist_author' for metafile
ERROR: Missing required field 'dist_abstract' for metafile
Unknown license string 'GPL' at /usr/share/perl5/Module/Build/Base.pm 
line 4302.
Creating new 'Build' script for 'LedgerSMB' version '1.2.16'

I have no idea what any of that means. What is 'dist_version_from' or 
'module_name' and what would I do with either, and does it matter?

This is a VirtualBox test machine, but soon I'm going to have to do the 
real thing with a live server, so it's pretty important I get it right.

Any help appreciated.


David.
