Rack is a great place to start. My blog (http://www.hokstad.com/blog) is "framework-less", built on separately picked components + Rack to glue it together. What really makes it nice (and much cleaner than normal CGI) is that it's well suited to writing "filters" (often referred to as Rack middleware) that pre- or post-process the data coming in or being returned, so you can write very loosely coupled components independent on frameworks - I've posted on my blog about a couple of the components I've written. As an added bonus, if you later want to use a framework, there are adapters so you can use Rack as the interface between arbitrary web servers and whichever framework you pick. Vidar
