It's light because it's a "rarely used feature". However, I thought
chapter 10 gave enough information. As it says, you must put something
like
perl_startup = do '/etc/exim.pl'
in your config, where the file contains the Perl *subroutines* you want
to use (i.e. not a complete script). Then you can use
${perl{foo}{arg1}{arg2}..}
in any expansion string, where foo is a Perl subroutine that is defined
in /etc/exim.pl. So a filter file could contain
if "${perl{foo}{...." is "VIRUS!!!" then .... whatever .... endif
