Then use

    unseen save /path/to/file

That might be better. But you can read up on the methods mail delivery
uses for locking. Simplier might be to make the first thing that the perl
script does is a rename of the file to some working location instead of a
delete on the delivery point.

In the main part of the configuration file you use

message_filter = /path/to/my/system/filter/file

And you put your actual filter in

      /path/to/my/system/filter/file
