Everytime you do read from a filehandle and store it in a scalar variable, then one line of input is read. (By one line, I mean the data until the next record separator).
Here is how it works internally:
When you open a filehandle, lets say, there's a mark that is at the beginning of file. The first time $rec = scalar <$INF> is encountered, the first line from file is read and referred by $rec. Now, the mark that we spoke of earlier, is at the character just after newline character (assuming newline as the default record separator). Now again when $rec = scalar <$INF> is encountered, one more line of data is read.
In the example code you provided in your post, a wrapper routine "readfile" reads one line of data and prints it.
The usual way of reading a file is to use a loop. Then again, that depends on what you really want to do:

sieveshell
SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1)NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS -u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
