This question about Configuration: Answered

Why does the configure script mis-identify my Linux kernel version?

During the configuration session, on the page "Web Server Environment", the operating system listed for me is "Linux 2.6.24-29-server (x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi)", but I'm actually running a 3.0.0-rc3 handrolled kernel. So what does that first string represent since it clearly doesn't represent my currently running kernel?

Configure obtains the information from the core perl module "Config" - http://perldoc.perl.org/Config.html

This information was gathered by the .configure utility when perl was built. If you've since changed your kernel, perl would need to be reconfigured to get the new information.
