Buffered output to the console?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks.

In a script I'm working on, I have a LOT of text that I need to output to the console. I need a way to output, say, only 25 lines of it at a time, wait for the user to push enter, output another 25 lines, wait for the user to push enter, etc., etc.

Does anyone know of a convenient way of doing this? I looked in the Text:: and Term:: namespaces but couldn't find anything.

Any help is appreciated.

You can try the module IO::Page, which pipes your output to a pager (the one in $ENV{'PAGER'} if defined). Michele.	[reply]
