Data for the 10th row 1st column    data for 10th row 2nd column

the data in first column is separated from data in second column by two tabs

i have coded a few lines for paging

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
my $cgi=new CGI;

print $cgi->header;
#here im using rows module in which i am calculating the no of rows 
use rows;

$totalcount= rows::count_rows();

print "$totalcount \n \n ";

#so put all the values inside an array say @total.
$no_per_page=3;
$total_pages=int((scalar $totalcount) / $no_per_page); 
print "$total_pages \n \n ";
$remainder = (scalar $totalcount) % $no_per_page;
if ($remainder)
           {
          $total_pages++;
          
          print $total_pages;
            }
if($total_pages)
          {
                   print <<"END";
                            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bor
+der="0" width="100%">    
                            <tr>
                          <td class="smtxt">
END
        print "<b>Page&nbsp;</b>";
        for $i (1 .. $total_pages)
            {
               if ($i == $page)
                    {
                      print "<b>$i</b>";
                    }
               else
                    {
                         print "<a href=\"winner.cgi?page=$i&period=$p
+eriod\">$i</a>";
                    }
            
               if ($i != $total_pages)
                    {
                      print "&nbsp;|&nbsp;";
                    }
              }
        print "<!-- '$total_pages' '$remainder' --></td></tr></table>\
+n";
        }

i am able to determine the no of rows and no of pages required to display all the rows . the trows are more than 300 in number so i have to use previous and next button also and use search funcitonality where as i proceed on the pages some hyperlinks get dispalyed and some get hidden

please help me what ashould be my approach , i cant use anything except cgi.pm module
