+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+perl-data-page: perl-data-page (help when paging through sets of results)
+perl-data-page:
+perl-data-page: When searching through large amounts of data, it is often the case
+perl-data-page: that a result set is returned that is larger than we want to display
+perl-data-page: on one page.
+perl-data-page: This results in wanting to page through various pages of data.
+perl-data-page: The maths behind this is unfortunately fiddly, hence this module.
