Actually, it should be either. The perl line above is the standard 
way of enabling xinetd services, across all distros with xinetd. 
It's been that way since, I'm  guessing from memory,  the late 80's 
or early 90's when it was released and adopted.

It might even be a part of the SVID or POSIX standards, but my memory 
is rusty on that.

chkconfig is RH distro specific. So choose your poison; both should 
work.
