Why not use a subrequest?
Get your content, generate the URI. Call:
my $subr = $r->lookup_uri($uri);
$subr->run;
And your subrequest (be it a mod_perl page, PHP, cgi, or static HTML) get
executed in the place where you call $subr->run.
Apache itself does tons of subrequests. mod_autoindex, for example.
And, actually, using LWP::Simple isn't that much extra overhead, provided it
already loaded and all that. Although I'd use LWP::UserAgent, not LWP::Simple.
