Hi,
I have built an index of a MySQL database using DBIx::FullTextSearch. I would like to provide previous/next and paged links. I have had a look at HTML::Pager and as I am also using HTML::Template this seems like the ideal solution.

I have poured over the documentation several times though I have to admit I'm no further forward. My first problem is DBIx::FullTextSearch only gives a resource id so I have to use this to query MySQL again and get some more interesting data such as resource title to show to the user. I can then put this into a hash and put this into a HTML::Template loop.

My first question then is.... which set of data do I apply HTML::Pager to the @files or @rows ? (see code below).

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw(param);
use DBIx::FullTextSearch;
use DBIx::FullTextSearch::StopList;
use DBI;
use HTML::Template;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:xxxx','xxxx','xxxxxx');

my $search = param("search");

my $fts = DBIx::FullTextSearch->open($dbh, 'fts_xxxx');

my @files = $fts->search($search);

if (@files)
{
    foreach $filename(@files){
      $filename = substr($filename,0,-4);

      $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT id, title FROM  resource WHERE id =
+?");
      $sth->execute($filename);

        while ($ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()){

                $title = $ref->{title};
                $id = $ref->{id};

        push @rows, { ID => $id, TITLE => $title };

    }
  }
}

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'pg_search.tmpl');

$template->param(TAB_BG_MAIN => "#0B5875");
$template->param(TAB_BG_HEAD => "#6180BA");
$template->param(SEARCH => $search);
$template->param(ROWS => \@rows);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $template->output;

I'm not 100% about the call back routine mentioned in the docs and how I'm going to pass this to HTML::Template but if anybody can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

Many thanks
