I have programmed a little in Python and found much
more reasonable than Perl. Still, there is a better
solution than CGI scripts - a Wiki Wiki Web site. See

create page scripts in Smalltalk. I don't know if it is
working right now since they were having some upgrade
problems, but if it is you might want to check out:

These other site are supposed to be ok:
