That line just starts the perl interpreter. Presumably, you're using the
perl routines elsewhere in your configuration.

This is all well documented in chapter 12 of the Exim docs, eg at
<http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf>

However, you don't need perl at all to queue messages. You can use "control
= queue" only in any ACL, and you'll be interested in the ratelimit ACL.
See section 40.35 of the docs.
