The design of Unix prevents a subprogram from changing the environment

You will probably have to use return values, or write the perl script
such that it creates a procmail snippet that gets INCLUDERC'd right
after the perl script exits.
If all you're looking for is TRUE/FALSE, I'd recommend using return
values. It's less baroque.
