Concentrating on the error itself: when it occurs, the variable $user_email hasn't been untainted. That's the only reason you'd get that error in reference to that line.
Perl checks more than taintedness of the argument to pipe open. It also checks whether a bunch of environment variables are either not set, or untainted. See man perlsec for details.

    I would look at the enviroment variables as these are quite possibly being effected by the web server. If one of these is set strangely only when using IE that would explain things.

    It might be worth while doing a raw data capture on the network interface (ethreal or equivalent) to see the actual TCP data stream rather than looking at the post web server filtered version of the data.

    Hope it helps.
