This was asked in the CB earlier and I made a few attempts but the morning is catching up to me and for some reason I can't think of the way to do this!

I'm pulling records from a database and I need to break it up into managable pages (15 per page for now but I'll change it later if I need). This means page=1 would display items 0-14, page=2 would display 15-29, etc.

my $page = url_param("page");
if ($page)
{
   my $per_page   = 15;
   my $count_low  = $per_page - 1;
   my $count_high =
}

Something was wrong with my logic in determining what items are expected to be called on that page and this is where I need your help. I need the calculations to determine the first and the last record needed to be printed based on the url_param page number. I know this is easy but I'm making this harder than it has to.
