apache is the user of mail system.
Add apache to the trusted_users line
trusted_users = whatever you have : apache
Now from the perl program you can create the mail file first into a temp
file and
exim -f senders_username@??? -t < tempfile
The tempfile would have the full mail file with all the headers or pipe
the same to exim:
.... | exim -f senders_username@???
Note that on some systems sendmail = exim ... common locations are
/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
etc..
Make Darn sure that this script is clean and doesn't allow someone to
modify the output or you are opening the door for spammers to abuse your
scripts.
