CONSTRUCTOR new my $pager = Data::Pager->new({ current => 1, # this is the current pager position perpage => 10, # the pager consists of this number of links (defaults to 10) offset => 5, # this is the number of results (fetched from the DB for example) per result limit => 100, # how far is the pager allowed }); # sample output from html table: id ... ..... ... 1. ... ..... ... 2. ... ..... ... 3. ... ..... ... 4. ... ..... ... 5. ... ..... ... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Returns object or undef if current position is beyond the limit. METHODS current $pager->current(); Returns the current pager position. set_current($digit) $pager->set_current(850); $pager->set_current(850)->next(); Sets the current pager position. Returns the pager object on succes, undef on false. next Returns the next pager position or undef if this is the last one. prev Returns the previous pager position or undef if this is the first one. start Returns 1 - the start pager position. end Returns the end pager position. first Returns the first pager position for this result set. last Returns the last pager position for this result set. from '1' => { 'to' => 5, 'next' => 2, 'prev' => undef, 'from' => 0 }, '2' => { 'to' => 10, 'next' => 3, 'prev' => 1, 'from' => 5 }, ... Returns the start result this pager position refers to. to Returns the end result this pager position refers to. list @_ = $pager->list; $_ = $pager->list; Returns the pager links for this result set. In list context returns the resulting list. In scalar context returns reference to the resulting list. # note the alignment $pager->set_current(10); print $pager->list; # 6 7 8 9 [10] 11 12 13 14 15 $pager->set_current(33); print $pager->list; # 28 29 30 31 32 [33] 34 35 36 37 38 SEE ALSO Data::Page BUGS What BUGS?
