[Petal] Reengineering of HTML::Pager

Hi all,

I use a module called CGI::Application to develop my Perl web apps. If my 
memory serves me correctly, HTML::Template and HTML::Pager were born out 
of Sam Tregar's work with CGI::Application. I was using HTML::Template in 
a project until I came across Petal. Now that I am reimplementing the 
templates in Petal, I have found that in one case I was using HTML::Pager 
to page database search results to the users. H:P os heavily tied into 
HTML::Template. This situation wouldn't do for me long-term, so I have 
reworked HTML::Pager to support Petal templates.

The work was relatively easy and the benefits of having a Petalized 
version of HTML::Pager were worth the effort. However, now that I've 
completed it, I'm wondering if there was perhaps a better solution that 
others are using to page through database results using Petal. Is your 
solution as featureful as HTML::Pager? Would anybody be interested in a 
copy of this hacked module?

Thanks,
William
