From
perldoc perlxs
XS is an interface description file format used to create an
extension
interface between Perl and C code (or a C library) which one
wishes to
use with Perl. The XS interface is combined with the library to
create a
new library which can then be either dynamically loaded or
statically
linked into perl. The XS interface description is written in the
XS
language and is the core component of the Perl extension
interface.

Does this tell you anything? :-)
Basicaly it's a way to use C libraries from Perl or to write parts of
Perl modules in C.
