This was asked before and a good answer was given but I cant remember the author so you'll have to search it.

The proposed solutions was how I would of done it - do it via SQL.

You can use the LIMIT keyword to show a subset of the data returned. For example: 

SELECT * FROM mydata LIMIT 100,100;

Here, it tells it to show from the 100th record (1st number) and only 100 records (2nd).

I would approach it by making your "next" link append the next number for limit. Pseudo code may look something like: 

my $blocksize = 100;
my $limit = 1 + param("limit");     #get the value from the query stri
+ng

my $sql = "SELECT * FROM data LIMIT $limit,$blocksize;"

Then your next and back buttons may have links like: 
showdata.pl?limit=200
showdate.pl?limit=0

Add garnish as desired...
