27.4. Viewing and Removing a Perl Module

The main page of this Webmin module displays all non-core Perl modules installed on your system for which a .packlist file can be found. Unfortunately, some modules do not create a .packlist file, especially those installed from an RPM package. Modules like this will still be usable in Perl scripts, but cannot be viewed or uninstalled by Webmin.

Most Perl modules include documentation on their API for programmers who want to make use of them in scripts. To view a module's documentation, follow these steps:

1.
On the main page, click on the module name under the table's Module column. This will bring you to a page showing its complete documentation, as generated by the perldoc command. Not all modules have documentation, so in some cases none will be displayed.

2.
If the module has submodules, they will be listed as well. Each may have additional documentation that you can view by clicking on its name.

Webmin can also be used to delete Perl modules from your system, as long as they have properly formatted .packlist files. The process should be used to remove a module:

1.
On the main page, click on the module's name to go to the documentation page.

2.
If the Uninstall module and submodules button exists, click on it. If the button is not displayed, then Webmin cannot remove this Perl module.

3.
Once you click on the button, a page listing all the files to be deleted is displayed. To go ahead with the uninstall, click the Uninstall now button at the bottom of the confirmation page. All the module's files will be removed, and you will be returned to the main page.

As mentioned in Section 27.3 “Installing a Perl Module”, some Perl modules are installed from RPM packages. To remove one of these, use the deletion feature of the Software Packages module instead.
