I had some problems accessing the perl modules using webmin, on a closer look, I found they were in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl (strange place),

Not strange. It's the correct place for modules from the distribution. site_perl is for site specific modules that come from other sources.

so I copied them into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl, now webmin can see them.

If webmin won't find modules in vendor_perl it's broken and needs fixing. Philipp

You could download the free script (that dives in and lists all perl modules available in it's paths) of the above demo and see if it will help to fix webmin. I did but I can't get it to work. Their instructions just said to copy to the cgi-bin directory and allow execute for perldiver.cgi. when I

Has anyone used this? what am I missing? I found this thread while looking for some Perl help for a problem I am having with Perl and Webmin. I tried upgrading perl so I downloaded and installed 5.8.3. It seemed to install ok and typing perl -version gives me the new version but when I try to use Webmin to look at mysql, it gives a Perl error message and mentions a problem with a module that is in the old path. Therefore, I am trying to find more info about upgrading and tampering with the path(s) for Perl. Damon REgister

I shall have a look at webmin, earlier versions had no trouble, so I was not aware of where they were looking for modules, this latest one seem to check only site_perl.

SUSE's change to vendor_perl came with 9.0, so maybe webmin always neglected vendor_perl and it only shows now? Philipp

Thanks, I shall see if I can email the webmin team with that info. The version of webmin I have was the first they issued ( -1.121) that works with 9.0, they can perhaps fix it in the next version. Regards Sid.

I reported the problem to the webmin bug-tracking system and got a reply saying it will be fixed in the next version. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
