Glad you like it :)

Well, it really depends on how you want to display the results. But I  
guess you'd do some kind of loop, doing (i * 10) to get the multiples  
of 10 - the just looping until you exceed total_pages. However, this  
is really getting a bit more complex than should be in a template  
(arguably, even my template is too complex) - so you should look to  
maybe subclass Data::Page to do this for you.
