Yup, it appears to be part of slrn:
http://slrn.sourceforge.net/cleanscore/index.html

"If you heavily use slrn's scoring capabilities, your scorefile will
soon become large and confusing, so you will want to remove expired
entries on a regular basis. This perl script can be used to purge
expired entries automatically, e.g. by calling it from cron.daily."
