Let me see if I understand correctly: You want to interpose a program
you write, so that in place of goign direct to Paypal, they send the
request to your server, where you massage it in some nefarious way,
and then forward the massaged data to Paypal on their behalf?
Why not just put the data you want into the original form?

It is, in theory, possible -- LWP can be built with HTTPS support - so
the first step would be to write a script to simulate a user posting
the Paypal form.

The shortest path would really be to "put the correct data in the form
before the users posts"
