Here is the table in which I am retrieving the data from an SQLite database.
Its having lots of records, so near that ADD button I need something like
|< < > >|
which would do the paging function whenever I click.
Also, besides the table each header (e.g. UserName UserId) I need a sorting
button. Something like a ^
button. Please do help me find the solution..Thank You.

----------------------------------------
One of the (many) advantages that you'd get from using DBIx::Class for your database access is that all searches have built-in support for paging.
Alternatively, you might find something like Data::Page to be useful.
As for sorting, that's probably best done in your SQL query with a 'sort' clause.
Ok, first thing, get and read Learning Perl. It is, hands down, the best book to learn Perl with.
Next, take a look at Ovid's CGI Course.
Third, your code has some major problems, and you'll need to walk before you run.
I've tidied and commented the heck out of your code.
Finally, to handle sorting and paging, you can use a library as others have suggested, or you can modify your SQL query. The keywords you want for grabbing only a range of results are
LIMIT
andOFFSET
, use anORDER BY
clause to sort your result set. Add some parameters to your forms to indicate what sorting methods or range you want.
