Have a look at gambas. It is more an application development environment
but it is easy to learn and use and makes creating a questionnaire with
a pleasant interface quite straight forward.

My needs would be pretty simple I think, Sonia.
For example, producing a self scoring questionnaire - I am a
semi-retired psychologist. It would be mostly text related stuff. I am
wary of a technical overload where I would not use much of the power of
a programming language anyway.

As other people have said "it depends" ie it depends on what you want to
use it for.
I'm now more of a sysadmin than a programmer, so I use shell scripting
for most stuff - dirty, but quick. Also means as I get better as using
the command line, my shell scripting gets better, and vice versa.
When I need the heavy guns for a sysadmin task, I use Perl or Python,
depending on which library I want to use, or which language the example
I'm copying is written in :-)
