The trick is that you don't implement a full script than just a
function. in that function you can return whatever you want.

It is more like a package than a standallone script. (But without
package directive.)

Then you use the following in your main config:
   perl_startup = do '/etc/exim4/exim.pl'

That is starting /etc/exim4/exim.pl in the embedded perl interpreter.
Pretty fast, to say. I had that in a big deployment with many million
mails per day.

After that you can use it in your ACL for example:
   contition = 
${perl{my_pretty_function}{$whatever_I_want_to_say_to_the_function_as_argument}}
or
   contition = 
${perl{my_pretty_function}{$whatever_I_want_to_say_to_the_function_as_argument1}{$whatever_I_want_to_say_to_the_function_as_argument2}}

In the perl file you can do whatever you want. Use modules, do some
callouts, whatever.

Regards
   Klaus
