help getting started ?

[Robert A. M. <rm...@nc...>]

Hi all,

   I downloaded sql-ledeger and its dependencies and got everything 
running on my RH6.2 box no real problem.  (Well I had to push the path 
/usr/local/www/sql-ledger onto @INC in the configuration file required 
by all the top level scripts, but that seemed like a small nit.)

I got the admin.pl first page up, however, when I drive down to the 
"create database" button and click on it, I get a script failed on 
require in the platform generic admin.pl.  When I trace the problem 
down, it seems that the bin/mozilla/admin.pl is failing on compile.  I 
entered the text
1;
__END__

in several places after the "uses: lines.  In some cases the script 
compiled but then called a function that (for obvious reasons) was no 
longer defined; in others it failed to compile. (perl runtime script 
compilation.)  So the problem doesn't seems to be the "uses" 
declarations. What other code could sometimes compile and sometimes not 
?   Does it conditionally load perl modules that may depend on 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH?  (I haven't worked out how to get apache to set this 
before calling a cgi.)

I'm relatively experienced with perl, but not with debugging cgi's that 
consume post events. Any hints will be appreciated.

Rob.
PS: I'm sure I made the mistake, I just want to correct it.
