Perl Version and Kernel Version

[JustJoe]

Can somebody please explain to me what Perl Version and Kernel Version man in reality, my host asked me if I wanted them upgraded for free when they do my Php upgrade next wee. My question is really about will changing them increase the speed of my server or affect my scripts.

What kind of site do you run on these?

Perl may be used by one of your payment processor script.

Updating the Kernel may get you some performance gains, but these are usually negligible. Main thing you'll get is added security.

Unless you've got perl scripts on your server (look for anything ending .pl or .cgi) then it wont make much difference to you

As myleebe says, CCBill commonly uses perl/cgi scripts for their processing but if your not using them then you shouldn't need to worry

Years back scripts using cgi were so popular, some of the traffic trading scripts i used would be .cgi now php has taken over.

I'm Canadian.

It is usually a good idea to keep your kernel updated for security.

Check if you have scripts under "cgi-bin" directories (it is the usual one for perl scripts).

Not a single file in my cgi-bin, that's interesting. Guess why I have no cgi-bin directories on my sites.
