	Maybe something like Dancer::Plugin::GearmanXS to send the long-running 
job to a Gearman instance, and then have your browser either refresh the 
page until the job is done or, if you really feel space-age, have a 
websocket connection (see Dancer::Plugin::WebSocket) to the server to 
push the results to the client when it's ready?

Joy,
