You don't tell where you found this information.
If you don't know what a "root user" is, you're probably on Windows. On
*nix systems, root is the privileged user who can do all the things a
normal user isn't allowed to do, like modifying system files.
The 'database_service.pl' is a Perl script. Perl is a fairly default
installation on *nix systems, there also exist builds for Windows. I
used the Komodo flavor way back when.

Leif
