Hi there use to be away to manage perl modules under tools in Webmin, has that been removed?
You are logged in with the proper authority level? That is a quite abbreviated list.
Check here to see if something somehow got reset otherwise I guess.
check available modules dnf list | grep webmin-*
Then install wanted module dnf install webmin-tunnel <— or whatever name you need
I think this is the way it is supposed to be, instead of having “un-used” modules you install on demand. makes for a slimmer install
At least that is what I thought I understood
@Krill
The one you are looking for is cpan
dnf install webmin-cpan
Then refresh modules and you will see it under Tools 
Webmin is written in perl so I’d think it would be a default. At minimum the software should check to see whats used and add the module at install time. Rocky shouldn’t have a non standard perl install.
It was not installed on the Virtualmin/Webmin install I did a few weeks back on a Rocky Linux 10.2 OS . I had to install the Perl Module
This seems like a bug to me.
May be using the cut down virtualmin 8 installer as with that you have to add the extra modules yourself
The Virtualmin 8 repository includes a modular version of Webmin.
This means that modules not included in the core Webmin installation are not installed by default.
However, you can easily install them manually, for example, with the dnf install webmin-cpan command.
I’m sorry. I see this as a MAJOR step backwards. It requires the user to have prior knowledge that the module is available and know a specific command line to install them.
Maybe, maybe not. Just think of all the modules that sit in unused modules, and never used. My 2c is to replace unused modules with a core module installer which could perhaps, allow the user to install/uninstall webmin modules and retain the new modular approach
Modular design is something every modern distro does, from Perl itself to nearly any other project you choose.
And, using a CPAN module on a production system isn’t something a normal Virtualmin user would want to do, as it can eventually mislead less experienced users into compiling software on a live system.
Yes, I agree. We should look into adding an easy way to manage Webmin modules for the core Webmin package.

This is all I was talking about.
@Ilia
Hopefully someone makes a Module for handling Modules in Webmin 
Yeah! I can do it.

Thank you all!
dnf install webmin-cpan this indeed worked.
But I definitely feel that install instructions should specify what has been added/removed and maybe an install wizard?
