I don't think so.
Perl will probably run after receiving an email, due to amavis-new or
spamassassin analyzing the email, for instance. It might trigger on mail
sent, depending on the setup.
gzip... it might trigger with the above if the email contained a
compressed file. Otherwise, it might be just chance that the system was
compressing a log file, like riccardo said, or any of the similar cron
tasks around.
There are many activities going about. With time you will recognise their
work patterns.
