Owen, I have more than my share of attempts at installing Koha on Ubuntu. I will share my experience.
I am still working with some instructions that have grown as I have found additional PERL modules that Koha wants prior to installation. I will go with the ones I know about. GD IPC::Cmd PDF::Reuse::Barcode and GD::Barcode::UPCE are part of my standard PERL module install prior to attempting an install. I have seen these errors pop up and I just add the missing modules to my list of default installs. Koha is happy and I have not had any problems that I could attribute to these modules. Memoize::Memcached will fight you tooth and nail unless you have the memcached application installed via apt. From what I understand, 3.2 will take advantage of this, but my experience is that 3.1 is still a bit buggy with memcached. I have not run into the last three modules on your list or the API2 module, but I generally just accept the prerequisites when installing PERL modules. PERL is happy, Koha is happy, and I am happy.

I ran into a couple of problems I wanted to ask about: 1. Install didn't proceed correctly until I manually created the koha-dev folder alongside the location of my git checkout. 2. I got several warnings about prerequisites missing after running Makefile.PL. Does that mean that the installation instructions are missing a step?
