Here is that clue hammer!

# custom_login.pl

1;
# end

sub login {

# modified to your needs

}

# eof


This code is pulled in and replaces the standard login function
in login.pl. There is no need to change any of the modules and you can
upgrade anytime keeping your mods. Of course, if I add some new stuff,
like another menu item, you'd have to adapt your custom menu too or you
won't have it available.

It's explained in more detail in the
http://www.sql-ledger.org/feature/api.html page
