Re^4: Paging with REST::Client?

    Sorry, I should have been clear -- that's an example from my old Curl code. REST::Client isn't doing any of the paging.

      Umm, right. Rest::Client does not do any paging. You said that it's on the server. So that means that you will have to provide the parameters or headers necessary to Rest::Client in the call it makes, and write a wrapper that collates the results from the various requests.

      What does the documentation of the API you are calling say about paging?

        The only documentation is an example in an appendix. I've used it with with Perl code shelling out to Curl, so I can go back to it if necessary. But that was really ugly code and I don't have time to write something prettier. I was really hoping this came up enough that an existing module supported it, or e.g. that LWP::UserAgent had the hooks in it to add support for it. Sort of like how XML::Twig has an option to iterate over large XML files.

        It seems like the easiest approach may be to see if I can tell that there was an error because of too much data, and if so, I can assume a restart is needed. Thanks for the help!
