That isn't necessary, and wouldn't do much anyway. The cache contains information
about all installed modules taken from module.info files, and is automatically flushed
if you do something like install or delete a module from within webmin. The problem is
that it can get out of date if you manually create or edit a module.info file for your
own module, but once you have done that and flushed the cache there is no need to
do it again ..
