I jumped the gun on this one. My browser auto-filled another server with a similar name, and I failed to notice. The original problem still exists, with the same error messages as before. I placed the following lines in both the main httpd.conf file and the virtual server definition file. SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/lib/perl5" SetEnv PERLLIB "/opt/webmin" What else might I try?

Sounds like maybe the PERLLIB environment variable isn't set to the webmin root directory (typically /usr/libexec/webmin or /usr/share/webmin). You will need to set that in your apache config, like WEBMIN_CONFIG is defined.
