The forms generated by Dancer::Plugin::SimpleCRUD use CGI::FormBuilder, which, whilst pretty old, is powerful and works well. Ignore the "CGI" part of its name, it can work perfectly well in Dancer apps too by feeling it a fake CGI object that implements a param() method - see the start of D::P::SimpleCRUD for an example. (In fact, it would be nice for CGI::FormBuilder to support being just given a hashref of params, rather than that somewhat kludgy workaround - I may look at that if I find a spare tuit or two.) There's also HTML::FormFu you could look at.
