Actually, BioPerl does have Bio::Tools::Run::Ensembl, which was submitted by Sendu Bala a few years back.  I think it stills works rather well, at least tests pass.  You might get more out of using the Ensembl API directly as Jun states though, YMMV.

BTW, the ensembl API also works with the latest bioperl code, regardless what the Ensembl website says (e.g. they only support v1.2.3).  Haven't heard more about whether this discrepancy was supposed to be addressed at some point.
