Well, I guess it depends on his set of needs, and he does have
tokeparser and treebuilder, etc to use.
If his javascript is inside of script tags, he can use treebuilder to
get those nodes, and then work with them. I see a host of Javascript
modules on CPAN.
Here's why I would not try to write this in Python just yet, unless i
had the time:
Perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan> i/JavaScript/
use a module from CPAN, use a few modules from CPAN, or patch and
improve a module!
The reason we are still using Perl for fast work, or a major reason is
CPAN. LWP is a part of that.
I don't have time to look through the javascript modules, but something
might be useful, and you could incorporate it into your current test
script base without switching to a new testing enviro...?

You might also try writing your own javascript parsing routines?
That's not a small amount of work you've just set Warren to do. :-)
(speaking as somebody who made a semi-serious attempt at it, in Python)
