You mentioned "In tk-perl, I like displaying item information in a table format" and this got me worrying that you might plan to not use the web interface for circulation functions. At my company's library, the web is the common denominator among operating systems, so if Koha tools aren't web-based, our librarians can't use them.
Just a plea to stick with the web so we can all benefit from each other's work, but if your business needs drive you to another interface, it's understandable.
Currently, the circulation interface is console-based, not web-based, if I'm not mistaken. My work with Koha currently involves extracting the non-interface specific code out of the current console interface code. I'm doing this so that I can develop a tk-perl interface (which scratches my particular itch), but it could also be used to develop a web circulation interface, or a java circulation interface (also run through a web client).
