You could have done it as a PHP script and just run it on your local
machine (as you were doing with Delphi) using the PHP binary that is
installed with newer versions of PHP.
I know how you feel though (exactly, I used to be a Delphi programmer) but
it really will do you great bounds to resist the temptation to go back to
the old familiar when learning a new language.
It's hard, I'm as guilty as anyone else, but it really does you good.
Cheers,
Andy
