The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::ResultsHelper
DSLIP: MdpOp
description: helps sort, paginate and display results set
userid: EARL (Earl Cahill)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)

rationale:
Takes an array of arrays (which is a rather general structure for
results sets), allows you to specify how many results per page,
simple templates, sort specifications (numeric, ascii, regex out
what to sort on, ascending or descending, multiple columns, uses my
Sort::ArrayOfArrays), and outputs pages of results as per the sort
order and the templates. A table of contents (like google 1, 2, 3,
etc for pages of results and back and next links) with navigation is
also generated.
Data::ResultsHelper takes an array of results and returns a hash
ref which can then be passed to Template::Toolkit, HTML::Template or
the like, or to my Data::ResultsHelper::HTML.
An earlier, messier version is used at my work to help display log
files, result sets from sql queries, our webmail system, our
shopping cart system, and countless other places. These utilities
have been developed by me and several other engineers.
A later version will allow results to be filtered, i.e., each
column can be included or excluded depending on <, >, =, or a regex.
I just haven't yet ported this code.
An example, which uses Template::Toolkit, can be seen here
http://spack.net/cgi-bin/tt?page=r2h.htm
I earlier applied for Data::Results2HTML, but this is a better,
cleaner architecture.
