yes it will generate an activity log on the terminal system. Some system depends on how the root (Sys Admin) configure the system but mostly all the Unix System does configured to give the information like who loged in, IP Addrs Etc. For some system the information stored on /var/log some depends on the OS Variant.

appconfig::sys
AppConfig::Sys(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation AppConfig::Sys(3)
NAME
AppConfig::Sys - Perl5 module defining platform-specific information and methods for other AppConfig::* modules.
SYNOPSIS
use AppConfig::Sys;
my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();
@fields = $sys->getpwuid($userid);
@fields = $sys->getpwnam($username);
OVERVIEW
AppConfig::Sys is a Perl5 module provides platform-specific information and operations as required by other AppConfig::* modules.
AppConfig::Sys is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.
DESCRIPTION
USING THE AppConfig::Sys MODULE
To import and use the AppConfig::Sys module the following line should appear in your Perl script:
use AppConfig::Sys;
AppConfig::Sys is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::Sys object is created and initialised using the
AppConfig::Sys->new() method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object.
my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();
This will attempt to detect your operating system and create a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object that is applicable to your
platform. You may explicitly specify an operating system name to override this automatic detection:
$unix_sys = AppConfig::Sys->new("Unix");
Alternatively, the package variable $AppConfig::Sys::OS can be set to an operating system name. The valid operating system names are:
Win32, VMS, Mac, OS2 and Unix. They are not case-specific.
AppConfig::Sys METHODS
AppConfig::Sys defines the following methods:
getpwnam()
Calls the system function getpwnam() if available and returns the result. Returns undef if not available. The can_getpwnam() method
can be called to determine if this function is available.
getpwuid()
Calls the system function getpwuid() if available and returns the result. Returns undef if not available. The can_getpwuid() method
can be called to determine if this function is available.
