Perhaps not. Apache's mod-perl was created for machines that would be running a lot of perl code, so the machine wouldn't have to initalise the perl interpreter everytime that someone ran a perl script - very handy on a webserver. It would only make sense, if there were a lot of short scripts being run. Though, seeing as mod-perl for Apache is there already, why would the kernel need one ? I'm not sure, but I thought a webserver would be the only thing that would run a lot of perl...
