I would go with marto's advice about WWW::Mechanize. I haven't used it yet, but I hear that it is great. I suspect that you will find it easier to use than any advice I could give about decoding the raw HTML to get the next pages to "click" on. You are getting about 5K pages from a huge government website that performs very well. I wouldn't worry too much about fancy error recovery with retries unless you are going to run this program often.

Update:
You can of course parse the HTML content of the search results with regex, but this is a mess... 

my (@hrefs) = $mech->content =~ m|COMPLETEHREF=http://www.kultus-bw.de
+/did_abfrage/detail.php\?id=\d+|g;

print "$_\n" foreach @hrefs;    #there are 5081 of these

#these COMPLETEHREF's can be appended to a main url like this:

my $example_url = 'http://www.kultusportal-bw.de/servlet/PB/menu/11884
+27/index.html?COMPLETEHREF=http://www.kultus-bw.de/did_abfrage/detail
+.php?id=04146900';

Then things get hairy and you will want to whip out some of that HTML parser voo-doo to parse the resulting table. Also, the character codings aren't consistent, for example the page has ä, but not ü which is coded as ü
