I would suggest Ruby for a few reasons. Perl is so similar to Python especially in its strengths that you would be primarily using one or the other. Ruby has great web framework support with tons of resources and plenty of people for both Sinatra and RoR. With Dancer and other Perl frameworks there's not a lot of info online besides the framework docs. With Ruby, you can use Heroku, while Perl you're going to need to use a Heroku buildpack to get it working which is more work. I don't know if vi has syntax editing for Ruby, but I would imagine it does. Perl would be easier to learn but wouldn't really give you any extra benefits over Python. It would probably be just as good to use a Python framework, either Bottle or Flask. Ruby is much more OO, has better framework resources and is different enough from Python that its worth learning
