I've looked at datatables in the past, but since my search interfaces are mostly for small collections at a a research library, it's not quite what the end customer wants. Basically, they want a paged output, with the results formatted as they like for each record. http://clarence.mwa.org/Carey is my initial Dancer implementation. Still needs work and skinning, which reflects my comment on bootstrap and client side javascript needs for better pagination. I've been trying to move away from PHP backend stuff, but this is all side projects when I get a chance, not my day to day job at all.
