Dear Jacques, I planned also to make custom scripts within Webmin therefore I fully understand your arguments concerning portablity. but having a headstart would help me personaly a lot. I also don't know a lot of Perl.
But if the script fullfill a need (and I am convinced they do) who cares about the programming language? I would be very pleased if a could take a look at them. And if I could make any enhancements I would be happy to share them with you and other people (that's what Open Source is about, isn't it). So if you could share them, I would be more than pleased and of course "as is" is fine enough for me.

For me it was the only way i could administer dbmail quickly via menus. Its a good way because making menu in webmin/custum command is easy and i have full control and i use dbmail-adduser and dbmail-maintenance and mysql queries from the scripts. But it may not be the best way if whe want to distribute dbmail administrations to all with webmin. The best way for the dbmail community would be to have webmin module just like all others modules of webmin(postfix,mysql...etc). I think webmin modules are writen in perl and im not a expert in writing webmin modules. I could make them but that could take time and maby time i dont have. One problem i have for giving my menu and script right now is that they are not made for mast distribution my menu are in french (thats not a big problem) my scripts would have to be adapted to be more portable (that also is not a big problem). I have James that is interrested in my menu and scripts. Im in contact with him and i will give him my menu and scripts (as is) as sone as he replies. That will be done via my ftp server. I dont expect my menu and scripts to work for him because like i say they have to be more portable. I think James should take a look at them and use them as a template to make is menus and scripts. And if James give me some feedback. I will adapted my scripts to be more portable. And then they could also be use as templates by others dbmail administrator. That could be possible and be done much faster then writing a dbmail modules for webmin. Basicly what as to be done is put the webmin menus in /etc/webmin/custum and the scripts in /root Bye Its 2 AM in Montreal NB If you want to experiment like James with my scripts and menus (as is)let me know.
