General ⇒ how to reset custom counter for every page

[mappo]

I'm helping some people converting a play script from a dozen .doc files to LaTeX.

Currently I'm editing the package sides. I want to number the lines in the
script like this <page>.<lineN> where page of course is the standard page counter
and lineN my own, already implemented counter of lines.

The thing is that I'd like lineN to reset to 1 at the start of every new page in the
output document.

I've looked at \numberwithin, but I never got it to work and a package named chappg
but it seems to do the opposite - reset page in every chapter.

Any suggestions?

Seems to be a job for the perpage package from the bigfoot bundle.

The doc looks very promising. I'll check it out - thank you!
