Pagination
 

I have a DB with ~1100 entries that I have made searchable. However,
the results can be VERY long. So, I want a way of paginating the
output.

I have seen oodles of these types of scripts for PHP, but nothing for
PERL, and my PERL skills are rusty.

Anyone seen somethng like this for PERL, or have an example lying
around?

Thanks!
Jim

Unfortunately, I can't use any of those, my server doesn't have them
installed and getting them to install something new is like pulling
teeth from an alligator.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Sounds tough... Then how about installing one of them yourself?

Can you not "install" them adjacent to your script in a lib/ directory, then
path that into your script with a "use lib ..." and maybe a bit of "use
FindBin" for flexibility?

That's what I often do if a centralised installation is more trouble than
it's worth.

I didn't think of that, excellent suggestion.

Thanks!
