I am sure this problem crops up in a number of areas. In my case, I place buy and sell orders (different variations) for stocks on my broker's web page. By the time I enter all the info and go through one or two confirmatory screens, the price has often changed and the order cannot be executed.

2) A perl script using "mech" (WWW::Mechanize).

I use WWW::Mechanize for a lot of things, including a lot of ebay scraping. I tried setting it up for my broker to get options quotes and build graphs but my broker uses js waaaay too much and WWW::Mechanize doesn't support js (well). So I'd say use mech, but not if you can't do anything on your broker site with js turned off.
