Perhaps theWWW::Babelfish module helps. It seems to support connecting to the
Google and Yahoo services as well. Haven't tried it but seems interesting:

Subject: Options for translating languages within perl scripts
Hi,
I've been tasked with massaging a large batch of French-language MARC records
from a vendor. Aside from the usual MARC field manipulation/cleanup we usually
do with perl, I've been asked to run the 520 field through a translation
routine/API, etc. to convert (possibly crudely) from French to English. I
thought that Babelfish or
http://api.yandex.com/translate/doc/dg/reference/translate.xml might be
options, but Babelfish appears to be dead, and when I clicked to get the
required key for the yandex API, the link led to a dead end.
Is anyone incorporating POST queries or other methods to translate fields in
MARC records? I'd appreciate any leads or pointers.
Thanks in advance,
