Perhaps I should mention this as well:

The CGI scripts executed by miniserv.pl via an eval of a code block which
sets up the environment and calls up the actual CGI via 'do.' See
https://github.com/webmin/webmin/blob/master/miniserv.pl#L2337 for the
exact code.

I suspected the forced package change on line 2339 might be causing some
scoping problems or some such, so I did this:

root@biblios:/usr/share/webmin/pykota (0.02_pre_alpha *)# perl -e 'package
pyktoa; do "PyKotaConfig.cgi"; die $@ if ($@);'

And get this:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "PykotaConfig" (perhaps you
forgot to load "PykotaConfig"?) at PyKotaConfig.cgi line 33.

This is exactly the same error I receive when running the same script as
CGI. BUT... commenting out line 2339 in miniserve.pl did not fix the
problem. So I suspect there is more to it than that.

Kind Regards,
Chris
