I've always been meaning to try this out but never got around to it.

Yikes I don't like the sound of that. And they want you to make all the
scripts setuid? I would think hard about the security implications of
this especially if your server is accessible from the Internet.

Yeah, perlpath.pl is in all the source packages but I didn't install it
into the binary packages because it isn't something end-users typically
need. (Unless they are doing something like you are of course.)
You can grab perlpath.pl from one of the source packages or this should
do the same thing
find /usr/share/webmin -name "*.cgi" -o -name "*.pl" | xargs perl -pe 's|/usr/bin/perl|/usr/bin/perl -U|;'
