If you want to apply a ML/TL properly, you'll have to follow the installation documentation that comes with it. If you want to skip any step or something, I bet your support might ask, if you have followed the steps in that documentation and if you say you didn't, they might pick that up and ask you to do it that way.
For single user mode, I can't say if it is definetly necessary, but I guess they want just to make sure, nothing else connects to the box.
Maybe you can get along with a /etc/nologin but if you want to be totally sure, you do a correct update, follow the docu which comes with every ML/TL.
We don't have TL8 yet live, we have currently max. 5300-07-02-0806 installed. If you don't have a dire need for applying TL8, I would not apply it^^ I think always 1-2 versions behind is ok - no idea how new TL8 is though.

PERLIVP(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLIVP(1)
NAME
perlivp - Perl Installation Verification Procedure
SYNOPSIS
perlivp [-p] [-v] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The perlivp program is set up at Perl source code build time to test the Perl version it was built under. It can be used after running:
make install
(or your platform's equivalent procedure) to verify that perl and its libraries have been installed correctly. A correct installation is
verified by output that looks like:
ok 1
ok 2
etc.
OPTIONS
-h help
Prints out a brief help message.
-p print preface
Gives a description of each test prior to performing it.
-v verbose
Gives more detailed information about each test, after it has been performed. Note that any failed tests ought to print out some
extra information whether or not -v is thrown.
DIAGNOSTICS
o print "# Perl binary '$perlpath' does not appear executable.
";
Likely to occur for a perl binary that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl version '$]' installed, expected $ivp_VERSION.
";
Likely to occur for a perl that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Perl @INC directory '$_' does not appear to exist.
";
Likely to occur for a perl library tree that was not properly installed. Correct by conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Needed module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.
";
One of the two modules that is used by perlivp was not present in the installation. This is a serious error since it adversely affects
perlivp's ability to function. You may be able to correct this by performing a proper perl installation.
o print "# Required module '$_' does not appear to be properly installed.
";
An attempt to "eval "require $module"" failed, even though the list of extensions indicated that it should succeed. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
o print "# Unnecessary module 'bLuRfle' appears to be installed.
";
This test not coming out ok could indicate that you have in fact installed a bLuRfle.pm module or that the "eval " require
"$module_name.pm"; "" test may give misleading results with your installation of perl. If yours is the latter case then please let
the author know.
o print "# file",+($#missing == 0) ? '' : 's'," missing from installation:
";
One or more files turned up missing according to a run of "ExtUtils::Installed -> validate()" over your installation. Correct by
conducting a proper installation.
For further information on how to conduct a proper installation consult the INSTALL file that comes with the perl source and the README
file for your platform.
