Web enable it. have it output in a form that is readily displayed as a
web page.  When I first did this (about six years ago) I grabbed a nice
C project from some guy that had Open Sourced it. The project used a
web-enabled form for users to login and change their passwords. It was a
piece of cake to use that as a shell around my scripts and shuttle the
info into the script and the output out to the web.

Alternately, you might look at this as a great time to learn Python.
