This is a question for you perl gurus... How hard is it to duplicate
the functionality of "pg" or "more" in perl.  Mainly, pagination and
searching for strings both forward and backwards.  Seems like it might
be pretty easy and related to the previous question of how to print
the last N pages of a file.  Any takers?  Thanks in advance.
