So, I haven't solved the problem yet, but in the meantime: if I set the network.jsonrpc logging level to "Debug" in the LMS settings... the web interface instantly starts working. Yay? YMMV.

Well the issue appeared to be the interaction with jsonrpc.js, a POST would be issued which would fail, presumably this is used to populate menus and such.
Wasn't sure if that was the problem last night but today I have a working LMS (from a .deb on ubuntu) running and the jsonrpc.js doesn't error in the way it did when I was looking last night so I'm going to run under the assumption that jsonrpc.js is somehow related to the issue.
I presume the json backend interacts with the DB or possibly mysqueezebox.com, not sure so the error could be anywhere in the chain really.
I'll have another look tonight, was just hoping someone may have seen this already. It's just LMS looks a bit complex and I have no prior experience with its internals.

So it seems the GUI suffers moderately from perl-5.20. I'm not sure how much we can do about this. Personnally I have no time to investigate and work on a fix now. NygelLyndley, Twacmepghad, could you try to get somebody upstream (or anyone that knows enough perl) interested in fixing these issues?
In the meantime, for those who don't mind downgrading perl to 5.18, the old PKGBUILD and packages are available at: http://arch.vesath.org/all/
Feel free to share any suggestions for better temporary or permanent solution.

@vesath: THX for the fast response.
I can confirm the issues from NygelLyndley.

Cheers now compiles and runs fine.
I am having a bit of a problem with some of the option menus though, this is on a fresh install of Arch + a yaourt install of logitechmediaserver.
On install I'm prompted
1) enter my squeezebox username/password - this works ok
2) Using a tree browser select the location of my music - this fails no tree browser appears
3) Using a tree browser select the location of my music playlists - this fails no tree browser appears
The failure at (3) won't allow me to proceed further and access lms.
I worked round this by editing /opt/logitechmediaserver/prefs/server.prefs to se the music and playlists location and was then able to access lms.
However the player web interface is slightly broken, clicking the volume selector does not change volume + no players appear in the top right drop down list (the drop-down looks broken).
My first thoughts were some web widget libraries may be missing but I can see all my players on the same style drop-down widget on the settings page.
I can also use my duet remote and play music that way so I think it all works just a few minot broken bits.
Any ideas?

Being away from my squeezebox this month I cannot properly test, but with trivial changes to the PKGBUILD it still compiles fine. Let me know of any issue.

Thanks. I missed that one. I'll get to it.

The perl version 5.20 came in the repository. This conflicts, of cource, with the dependency perl<5.19 from this package, witch cause the usual problems for this case.

@xtof
The last step you are likely missing is giving the user privileges for the necessary directory
for example: # chown -R squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /opt/logitechmediaserver
where the first squeezeboxserver is the user and the second is the group, you can set these yourself by editing logitechmediaserver.service
