If I understand the situation correctly, I'd recommend this type
of setup:

1) write a perl script that will take two parameters as input and
   call the CGI to send the page. Apparently, you'll also have to
   do:  "$subject =~ s/ /+/g;" to change the spaces to plusses.

2) in your .procmailrc, set up a rule that looks like:
:0
* any flags to catch the messages that you want sent 
* to your pager
{
        SUBJECT=`formail -zx Subject:`
        FROM=`formail -zx From:`
        :0
        | /path/to/perl/script $SUBJECT $FROM
}

That should get you a bit closer.
