You can use the following trick from perldoc perlopentut to run
you script's output through a pager:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $pager = $ENV{PAGER} || "(less || more)";
open(STDOUT, "| $pager") or die "can't fork a pager: $!";
$SIG{PIPE} = sub { exit };
print "This is line $_\n" for 1..100;
print "I'm all done\n";
close STDOUT;
