Mutt's send-hook and reply-hook are useful for making configuration and from-header changes based on recipients. They aren't designed for the reverse, because they trigger after recipients have been determined.
The link you posted (albeit at the wrong website) ;-), <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#compose-flow>, is a good place to look for the details.
In bullet 2, my_hdr is processed to add to the initial Cc recipients. Bullet 3 then prompts using those recipients. All the hook processing occurs afterwards, so a hook adding Cc my_hdr won't affect the *current* composition session.
Unfortunately, that means you have to get creative to do what you want to do. The perl script you wrote sounds like a good idea. Another idea might be to set the my_hdr in advance via a folder hook, or via a macro that also changes the $from setting.
