Greetings,

Hello,

I have a program that does a search on a db and prints the output to the screen. If there is a lot of output how can I a stop/continue displaying it. like 'ls -l |more' would do. or anything |more for that matter.

perlopentut has an example using less instead of more.

my $pager = $ENV{ PAGER } || 'more';
open STDOUT, "| $pager" or die "Cannot fork pager $pager: $!";


perldoc perlopentut
