There's not much to say about it other than what the manual says
(chapter 12 - just over a page long). I don't use it because it is
clearly expensive, but there are people that do.
The provided facility is the ability to call Perl from within an Exim
expansion string. This is not a general "let Perl loose on the message"
feature, though I suppose it could be if you called it from a
local_scan() function.

I suspect it is not widely used, but that's just a guess.
