The PickAxe has a chapter about Ruby as CGI. Then there's eruby, ERb
(used by Rails), Mongrel..

I can tell you this much: eruby is faster than CGI, especially with
mod_ruby for Apache (which is a must), and a lot easier to use, as you
can embed your Ruby code directly into HTML (no need to emit the correct
mime-type, for example).

Quick example:

And don't forget Camping! http://code.whytheluckystiff.n...

Admittedly the docs are spotty, but what there is of them is fun, and
camping itself seems straightforward.

The way I understood the OP, the question wasn't about frameworks (where
Camping, IOWA and Nitro should be mentioned alongside Rails), but about
using Ruby as CGI (which would be needed for the frameworks, anyhow).

Pick up The 2nd ed. of The Ruby Way. It covers a variety of Ruby Web
frameworks (though, for various reasons, Camping didn't make it in).
