in reply to Paging STDOUT?

If this is *nix, then what I would do is is simply pipe it. You could even write a wrapper if needed. So if finder.pl is the perl that searches, then you write findIt.sh which basically runs:
#!/bin/<some>sh finder.pl | more
Obviously edit the above for taste, proper shell and other switches you may feed it. Then when you want it you call findIt.sh. Saves you the trouble of reinventing a pager in some way. That's what I'd do...
