That perl module isn't strictly required, as Webmin can still use the
"mysql" command to connect to the database and send queries. However, it's
less reliable especially when querying complex tables, as Webmin has to
parse the text output from the command.
You can check if it's installed and working by SSHing in as root and running :
perl -e 'use DBD::mysql'
