NB: I'm not after starting a "my language is better than yours" flamewar!
I need to write a small web script (basically a simple front end to populating an LDAP database). Normally I'd do this in Perl (and CGI library) because of PHP's pretty horrific security record, however I think it's time I took a fresh look to see what to use for the next N years. I'd like to write it in Ruby if possible, or Python as a second choice (sorry Adam). I don't really want a huge massive framework with all the hassle that involves - really I'm after a "use ... library". For example looking at Ruby, there is a CGI library which allows you to perform the usual set/get forms helpers I want. There is also eruby to assist with the templates, however integrating the two seems a bit yucky. Using ERB seems perhaps slightly easier. Rails is just way too much framework for me. I probably want to end up with something similar to: - script which has the controller logic in it and displays one of two templates - template with the form in it - template with the result in it Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
