I was just thinking that it would be kinda handy to have a module which could be used to create paged lists for use on websites.

But here's the first question: Has it been done? Then: What would I call it? And of course: How should it work?

As to the third question, I was thinking of something like:
my %format = ( linestart => "", fseperator => "\n", fields => { id => 'Id: $', test => 'Test: $' }, lseperator => "\n\n", lineend => "", ); my @data = ( { id => 1, test => 'Basic Functions', }, { id => 1, test => 'Advanced Functions', } ); my $page = 1; #Which page my $length = 1; #Number of entrys per page print pager(\%format,\@data,$page,$length); ------------ Output: Id: 1 Test: Basic Functions ------------ Or if $page was set to 2 Id: 2 Test: Advanced Functions ------------ Of if $length was 2 (or more) Id: 1 Test: Basic Functions Id: 2 Test: Advanced Functions


I think that's as clear as I can be on this idea... any comments, (answers to the questions I posed above?) etc?



My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
