I can't help but think you should sit down and write out everything 
you need this script to do, and just ask someone here to finish 
writing it for you...


# this will extract the subject (removing leading whitespace, though you
# could easily deal with that within your perl script)
SUBJECT=""
:0
* ^Subject:[    ]*\/[^  ].*
{
         SUBJECT=$MATCH
}

# this will pass the subject to your perl script, using the return value
# to determine if the procmail recipe should take some further action.
:0
* ? /path/to/some/script.pl "$SUBJECT"
{
         # do something (such as sending your "there's no PO number" notice)
}
