Doubt it. What I'd do instead is upload a release with DEAD in big letters or something - see Net::IRC for how we did it with a similarly expired module, including a warning in Makefile.PL that it flat out doesn't work right. Maybe also a recommendation that they try using Mechanize themselves, and a note that if somebody produces a working module they're welcome to the namespace.
