in reply to Navigation script?

here is some pseudocode
  1. decide how many items to show per page, say 'n'
  2. determine the total number of items in the result set, say 'r'
  3. calc the total number of pages, say 'p', that will be created by the result set by using the above two (typically p = int(r/n)
  4. determine which page you are on right now based on the items being displayed
  5. create your navigation links with appropriate items to start from
  6. get more fancy once you've gotten the basic system working

Even if someone has a precanned script for it, it is likely not going to fit your requirements because you have not provided any details on how you are generating your results, pages, etc.

Nevertheless, it is quite easy to right, and would be a really nice exercise to learn Perl. Good luck.

btw... nice music. "Seven Steps To Heaven" really cooks. Thanks.
