Webmin version 1.590
Virtualmin version 3.93 Pro

when a link is clicked, for example Postfix, the following error is generated:

Error - Perl execution failed

Can't use global $_ in "my" at /usr/libexec/webmin/status/edit_mon.cgi line 316, near "($_"
Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Howdy -- hmm, I wasn't able to reproduce that on my system.

One thing we could try is to make sure Webmin was restarted properly during your recent update.

To do that, log into your server as root over SSH, and run this command:

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

After that, are you able to click those links?

Hi Eric,

No, the links still result in the same error message.

This is a bug that can happen with some Perl versions. The fix is to install the patch we have released for this from http://www.webmin.com/updates.html

The quickest way is with the commands :

cd /tmp
wget http://www.webmin.com/updates/status-1.590-1.wbm.gz
/usr/libexec/webmin/install-module.pl /tmp/status-1.590-1.wbm.gz

The next Webmin release will also fix this.

That has fixed the problem.

Many thanks,
