Dependencies on Perl

You will find that a surprisingly significant number of software packages that you may want to run on your Accelerator have a dependency on Perl.

Virtualmin

If you want to keep Virtualmin as a control panel for your Accelerator, be aware that you will need a recent version of Perl on your Accelerator. If you have recently changed your Perl path, then you will need to re-setup your Virtualmin.
