Re: Updating of perl and webmin

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.

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]

Thanks, I reviewed the setup.sh and it looks for a file named perl-path. I found mine in /etc/webmin/perl-path. I think this is a simple one line file that points to the Perl binary. Jerry	[reply]
