error: explicit package name	Can't Post

I am trying to run a test script using a module HTML::Pager that has 'use
strict'.
It does not like the callback subroutine although it is declared
The error msg with the script after:

syntax error at testPager2.pl line 25, near "my "
Global symbol "$get_data_sub" requires explicit package name at
testPager2.pl line 25. Execution of testPager2.pl aborted due to
compilation errors.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use HTML::Pager;
use CGI;
use strict;
local $SIG{__WARN__} = \&Carp::cluck;

my $pager;
# my $get_data_sub;
# get CGI query object
my $query = CGI->new();

# create a callback subroutine to generate the data to be paged
my $get_data_sub = sub {
my ($offset, $rows) = @_;
my @return_array;

for (my $x = 0; $x < $rows; $x++) {
push(@return_array, [ time() ]);
}
return \@return_array;
}

# create a Pager object
my $pager = HTML::Pager->new( query => $query, get_data_callback =>
$get_data_sub, rows => 100, page_size => 10, debug => 1);

# make it go - send the results to the browser.
print $pager->output;

You're missing the ; at the end of the anonymous sub:

Code

# create a callback subroutine to generate the data to be paged 
my $get_data_sub = sub { 
    my ($offset, $rows) = @_; 
    my @return_array; 
  
    for (my $x = 0; $x < $rows; $x++) { 
        push(@return_array, [ time() ]); 
    } 
    return \@return_array; 
}; # <--- missing ;
