Unfortunately that is one of the issues with Webmin. The Webmin module only provides an interface to the functionality and/or application - not the functionality/application itself.

A quick search on http://packages.debian.org/ using oldstable (Squeeze - what TKL v12.x is based on) as the distro reveals that the package you'll need to install is libnet-ldap-perl so install that like this:

apt-get install libnet-ldap-perl

That should take care of any direct dependancies although you may still have to install other stuff as well...

Hint: As well as using the online package database, you can also search for packages from the commandline like this:

apt-cache search perl

That may return too many results so you can limit them with a second keyword like this:

apt-cache search perl | grep ldap
