you can call less inside Perl,

This hack (somehow) works under win (though with some artefacts* on the console)

$out = join "\n" , 1..100;
open PIPE, "| more";
print PIPE $out;

but I don't think you can redirect the final output of your script from within.

Only the parent process should be allowed to do this.

UPDATE
*) adding close PIPE; after the print solves the issue :)
