Either I don't understand your problem or the answer is very easy.
Emacs reads the .emacs file from the user's home directory on loading.
Why not just get your perl script to download the file from whereever
and save it as ~/.emacs before starting emacs?
If emacs is already running and you want to load some file, M-x
load-file RET ~/.emacs RET is your solution.
This is assuming that your different computers are unix based. I don't
know what you'd do on windows.
