I use in my template on top of the page this:

Page [% pager.current_page %]
[% IF pager.current_page != pager.first_page %]
    <a href="[% c.request.uri_with( page => pager.first_page ) %]" 
title="First Page">
        <img src="[% site.url.pics %]/first.png" border="0" 
style="vertical-align: text-bottom;">
    </a>
 [% END %]   
 [% IF pager.previous_page %]
     <a href="[% c.request.uri_with( page => pager.previous_page ) %]" 
title="Previous Page">
        <img src="[% site.url.pics %]/previous.png" border="0" 
style="vertical-align: text-bottom;">
     </a>
 [% END %]
 [% IF pager.next_page %]
        <a href="[% c.request.uri_with( page => pager.next_page ) %]" 
title="Next Page">
            <img src="[% site.url.pics %]/next.png" border="0" 
style="vertical-align: text-bottom;">
        </a>
 [% END %]
 [% IF pager.current_page != pager.last_page %]
        <a href="[% c.request.uri_with( page => pager.last_page ) %]" 
title="Last Page">
            <img src="[% site.url.pics %]/last.png" border="0" 
style="vertical-align: text-bottom;">
        </a>
 [% END %]  

.... then in my controller:

sub view : Local {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
    my $page = $c->req->param('page') || 1;
    my $rs = $c->model('AppModelDB::Clients')->search(undef,
                                                          {
                                                            page => $page,
                                                            rows => 20,
                                                          });
    $c->stash->{rs} = $rs;
    $c->stash->{pager} = $rs->pager;
    $c->stash->{template} = 'clients/view.tt2';
}


you need Data::Page to do that.
