in reply to RFC: Module for flexible data pagination

I quite like the idea , and I recommend adding a hard limit for the number of items per pages (max_entries_per_page) (Update: I didn't notice the flexibility that does this job, sorry for the noise).

Regarding the name: I think the point is not that the number of entries per page is flexible (you can adjust that for other paging systems as well), but that it is automatically chosen.

But I don't like Data::Page::Automatic very much (it doesn't give you a good idea what's going on), so maybe a fellow monk has a better idea.

    True, the name is difficult.

    The first name I had was Data::Page::Fuzzy, as the entries per page isn't known, but since there is no fuzzy math involved it doesn't explain what the module does very well.

    Perhaps Data::Page::Adjusted, since the entries per page gets adjusted to a more reasonable value. Or Data::Page::Reflow.
