I'm wondering if it is possible to forward a mail to a web page.

well, using procmail it's possible to forward a message to a program
that creates a WWW page; or to a program that add a message to a
database which can be accessed via the WWW.

But how should the perl script "callwebpage.pl" look like?

a Perl question; has very little, if anything, to do with procmail.

Can the result from the webpage be forwarded to another domain (i.e.
forward(_at_)domain(_dot_)com)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by webpage forwarding; but it
sounds more like a HTML issue than procmail.

Or is this strictly impossible with procmail+perl?

You might take a look at a Perl package called mhonarc which is used
for archiving mail messages.  Depending on what you are trying to do,
a "hotmail" (http://www.hotmail.com) accout (or something similar) may
be of interest as well.  Procmail can pipe/forward messages to both.
