Yes! It was one of the first apps I installed. Got the tarball from a 
webmin.com mirror, untarred it,
.and there it was, ready to go. I ran the webmin config script which 
asks for a *few* items of information, edited miniserv.pl for one item 
(port number, I *think*) and that was that, webmin was ready to go. 
/etc/rc.d edited to get webmin to start at boot time...and that was that.

That *is* interesting,
I assumed Perl wasn't installed on my qube2 also, only to discover it 
was by default which surprised the heck out of me. I expected I would 
have to install it. This is slightly worrying that you don't have 
it.....are you *sure* you don't?? what is the output of perl -v
perhaps you could elaborate on what you meant by the perl installation 
didn't go very well. Did you install it from /usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl58? 
what happened?
