You might also want to check into mod_perl. While there isn't a name such as "Ruby on Rails" for this, Perl, mod_perl, and module you can download off the CPAN can provide all of this functionality in ways that don't require much "integration".
A module from CPAN? I went over to their site and saw a ton of stuff there. I foresee alot of trouble getting all those things to work together. I installed Ruby, The Rails framework, MySQL, then went on to create a simple list manager in the span of about an hour.
The one thing I'm missing is a really good IDE.
Something I do not yet know about it deployment. For example, will I just be able to copy the code onto the server once I get the database settings set, or will I need to change access to certain folders?
It's actually multiple modules you can plug-n-play depending on how you want to do things.
For example you can use the MVC framework Catalyst, or create your own easily with Class::DBI and a templating system such as Template::Toolkit, HTML::Template, Mason, etc, etc, etc.
It's not as tightly intergrated as something like Rails, but does give you flexibility in how you do things.
It's actually pretty easy to get the necessary parts to work well together.
