Neither of those files are specific to linux.
The .pm files are perl modules. To understand how those works in
detail you need to learn perl. You don't need to know this when using
SpamAssassin though.
The .cf files are specific to SpamAssassin. To learn how they work
read the SpamAssassin documentation. Particularly
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
also available at
<http://search.cpan.org/~jmason/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm>
I've used .cf files from http://www.rulesemporium.com i used to copy in
/usr/share/spamassassin/
Don't do that.
You should put your custom .cf files in the site rules directory.
Usually "/etc/mail/spamassassin" or "/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin".
it works
But will stop working if you use sa-update or upgrade SpamAssassin.
And if you haven't run sa-update, you really should. There have been
updates to the base rules since the last version was released.
but at some sites both .pm & .cf fiels
are available can some one please guide me wht to do with .pm files

Read about "loadplugin" in the above mentioned documentation.
The .pm files are for plugins rather than just extra rules. There are
usually installation instructions included with a plugin since they
generally require more than just dropping the files in your rules directory.
The .cf files should be put in your site rules directory. SA will
automatically load any .cf files in that directory. If you don't know
where the site rules directory is, you can use this command to find it:
spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 | grep 'site rules'
