NAME

Data::Page::NoTotalEntries - help when paging through sets of results without total entries

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Page::NoTotalEntries;

DESCRIPTION

Data::Page::NoTotalEntries is a generic pager object, so it's very similar with Data::Page. But so Data::Page::NoTotalEntries doesn't support $pager->total_entries and other some methods.

In sometime, I don't want to count total entries, because counting total entries from database are very slow.

METHODS

my $pager = Data::Page::NoTotalEntries->new(%args);

Create new instance of Data::Page::NoTotalEntries. You can initialize attributes at constrcutor with %args.

This method returns the next page number, if one exists. Otherwise it returns undefined:

}

$pager->previous_page()

This method returns the previous page number, if one exists. Otherwise it returns undefined:

This is a alias for $pager->previous_page()
