That's ok, we're all new at some point, I'm still pretty cherry myself ;)
Ruby, like perl and python includes a large number of libraries, which due 
to the fact that Ruby (and perl and python) aren't compiled, are easily 
viewed with your favorite text editor.  Your Ruby distribution will have 
created a directory, I'm not sure if you're on a *nix or windows.  If, for 
instance, your ruby executable is in /usr/local/bin, then look in 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6 (I'm assuming a 1.6* version) and you will find 
those libraries.  I'm not sure what it would be in windows, I'll assume 
possibly c:\windows\ruby\lib. ??  May also be /usr/lib/ruby/1.6, or 
something else..  Just whip out your favorite text editor and open cgi.rb, 
you'll see a ton of examples at the top.  It's so nice being able to just 
look at the library source ;)
