Perl is valid if you know it and want to use it. Otherwise, not really.
There is a port of mechanize to Python as well, if that is your main reason to use Perl.
Whatever you can do in "disgusting hacks" can be done just as quickly in a way which won't make you want to vomit when you look over the code again later.
