Considering you don't know Ruby or understand CGI (which is something
you can probably learn in minutes or hours), you might not want to try
and re-do it just for the sake of it, if you don't know the language or
interface you'll be using well.  If it works now, there's no reason to
change it, though I understand if you want to use it as a project to
help you learn.
