Updating of perl and webmin

jinfeld has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, How do you update webmin so that it recognizes the last perl update installed? I updated perl from 5.8.0 to 5.8.5 using...

rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -de
make
make test
make install
[download]

I also ran...

/sbin/ldconfig -v /usr
[download]

Now what do I do to get webmin to recognize we are now running 5.8.5 in

Do you still have the 5.8.0 Perl on the system as well? If so then Webmin is probably seeing the wrong Perl. When you install Webmin it asks for the full path to Perl on your system. Make sure it is pointed to the right Perl. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

Thanks, Since webmin is already installed can I change the version of Perl it uses (by editing some config file) or do I have to re-install webmin? Jerry	[reply]

If I'm not mistaken, there is a `setup.sh` program in the Webmin folder. Try to run this and see if it asks for your Perl version. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply] [d/l]
