Rails - Jul 2005 - Pagination over a custom-generated array of objects?

I''ve been looking over the Paginator class stuff, and it seems as  
though any example I can find assumes that the objects are being  
pulled from the database. Is there any way to iterate over a set of  
objects that have been put together using some custom filtering/ 
sorting/etc?

I thought the objects could be stored in the session as a means of  
getting them from page to page, and could be cleaned out at an  
appropriate time in the program flow when they weren''t needed.  
However, I don''t know if there is a way to use the Paginator class to  
deal with this or not.

Thanks!

Perhaps you''d find this useful, deep from the canadian trenches:

Anyone know what happened to the Snippets link?  Is there another spot
