G'day Milti,

"... (I know how to do that) but wish to limit the number of items per page to 10 while including a footer saying next page or whatever. How do I do that?"

The logic for that is fairly straightforward. Using less filenames and shorter pages for demo purposes:

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' my @files = "A" .. "J"; my $items_per_page = 3; my $current_item = 0; for (@files) { say; if (not ++$current_item % $items_per_page) { say "Next Page" unless $current_item == @files; } } ' A B C Next Page D E F Next Page G H I Next Page J

In case you were wondering, 'unless $current_item == @files' stops the "Next Page" message being output when the end of page coincides with the end of data. Using one less file:

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' my @files = "A" .. "I"; my $items_per_page = 3; my $current_item = 0; for (@files) { say; if (not ++$current_item % $items_per_page) { say "Next Page" unless $current_item == @files; } } ' A B C Next Page D E F Next Page G H I
