Perl style:

my $current_page_num = 2;
my $num_pages        = 6;

if ($current_page_num > 1) {
   ...display link to page $current_page_num-1...
}

for my $page_num (1 .. $num_pages) {
   if ($page_num == $current_page_num) {
      ...display page number...
   } else {
      ...display link to page $page_num...
   }
}

if ($current_page_num < $num_pages) {
   ...display link to page $current_page_num+1...
}

Or template style:
(Whitespace added for readability.)
(The template system I use looks at the class for commands.)

<a class="if::Selector.link_prev
          sub::href::Selector.link_prev"
   href="{page_link_next}"
>&lt;&lt;Prev</a>

<span class="page_selector_cell">
   <span class="if::Selector.Page.is_current
                text::Selector.Page.page_num
                current-page"
   >{page num}</span>

   <a class="unless::Selector.Page.is_current
             sub::href::Selector.Page.link
             text::Selector.Page.page_num"
      href="{page_link}"
   >{page num}</a>
</span>

<a class="if::Selector.link_next
          sub::href::Selector.link_next"
   href="{page_link_next}"
>Next&gt;gt;</a>
