+=head1 NAME
+
+SL::Helper::Paginated - Manager mixin for paginating results.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+In the manager:
+
+ use SL::Helper::Paginated;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->default_objects_per_page(10); # optional, defaults to 20
+
+In the controller:
+
+ my %args = (
+ query => [ id => $params{list_of_selected_ids},
+ other_attr => $::form->{other_attr}, ],
+ );
+
+ $self->{pages} = SL::DB::Manager::MyObject->paginate(args => \%args, page => $::form->{page});
+ $self->{objects} = SL::DB::Manager::MyObject->get_all(%args);
+
+In the template:
+
+ [% PROCESS 'common/paginate.html'
+ pages=SELF.pages
+ base_url=L.url_for(action='list', ...)
+ %]
+
+=head1 FUNCTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<paginate> args => HREF, page => $page, [ per_page => $per_page ]
+
+Paginate will prepare information to be used for paginating, change the given
+args to use them, and return a data structure containing information for later
+display.
+
+C<args> needs to contain a reference to a hash, which will be used as an
+argument for C<get_all>. After C<paginate> the keys C<page> and C<per_page>
+will be set. The keys C<limit> and C<offset> will be unset, should they exist,
+since they don't make sense with paginating.
+
+C<page> should contain a value between 1 and the maximum pages. Will be
+sanitized.
+
+The parameter C<per_page> is optional. If not given the default value of the
+Manager will be used.

+=over 4
+
+=item C<common/paginate.html> pages=SELF.pages, base_url=URL
+
+The template will render a simple list of links to the
+various other pages. A C<base_url> must be given for the links to work.
