I'm sure only the webmin developer knows why he did not use strict,
however, you can still use it. Just initialize vars you intend on importing
thus:

#!/usr/bin/perl

our( %in, %text, %config );

use strict;
use warnings;

etc.....

Older Perl did not support the 'our' pragma, but 'vars.' [1] So keep that
in mind if you are using an older Perl.

Kind Regards,
