in reply to Mechanize, Using WWW instead of IE

$ie->follow_link( url => 'javascript:__doPostBack(\'ctl00$cpMain$pagerBottom\',\'' . $page . '\')' );

You're right in that link is Javascript based and WWW::Mechanize can't handle Javascript. In fact, I've seen Win32::IE::Mechanize suggested for use when you're trying to deal with web pages that rely on Javascript (like yours does). Because Win32::IE::Mechanize uses Internet Explorer, it can handle Javascript.
