Hi All,

What will happen to the perl script loaded on the memory if I do perl update?

Thanks.

Depends on what the script does, but update of perl are not recommended while having code in operation. I'd suggest that you mimic the behavior of the production box on a test one - leave the script running, and see if the update will wait for the script to gracefully finish.
