Pretty much anything you can do in one, you can do in the other. Installing and setting up a whole framework is probably a little overkill. Fastcgi and mod_perl (and probably mod_python) are fairly standard in apache installs, it should be fairly feasible to set up a simple HTML form, and have the scripting language of your choice do everything behind the scenes.
I'm a perl advocate personally (line noise is sexy and whitespace is for suckers), but bioperl always ended up seeming too clunky. I've found it easier to use the NCBI API documentation and just roll it myself. There are also plenty of example of such things floating around the internets as well, as was mentioned.
