The module Data::Page lacks a simple property that is useful when you need to build SQL queries with a LIMIT clause under MySql: how many records should you skip to reach the first record of current page? The answer is $self->first - 1 records. This isn't obvious to remember and not so clear at first sight when you read in a query, so I added a property that implements this functionality. A little example:
...
$pager = Data::Page::Extended->new($total_records,
$page_size,
$current_page);
$sth = $dbh->prepare(q{select * from table
where rec_date <= ?
order by rec_date
limit ?,?});
$sth->execute($date, $pager->skipped_items, $page_size);
...
Of course I sent a patch for this to acme.
Ciao, Valerio
package Data::Page::Extended;
use base 'Data::Page';
sub skipped_items
{
my $self = shift;
return $self->first - 1;
}
1;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
