That sounds overly complicated and like a lot of wasted cycles. Calling
a Perl script for each message? What you just described sounds a hell of
lot like this light-weight SA configuration:
rewrite_header Subject _BAYES_
However, rather than munging the Subject, I'd strongly suggest to use
something like this, and have SA add a dedicated header.
add_header spam Bayes _BAYES_
See the Template Tags section in the Conf documentation.

Yes, use the dedicated header as per above. There is NO need to mess
with the Subject or any commonly user-visible header, for analysis. Even
less so, when using something like procmail, which perfectly understands
headers.
