Joe,

Thanks for the reply

The tarball consists of all the normal perl stuff, an images directory ,
a lang directory and a help directory.
Addtitionally the tarball consists of a config, config.info and a
module.info at the top level.

This I understood was the proper shape for a webmin module tarball.
