Oh, This is quite easy. I assume you have Ruby and RubyForApache 
installed.

1. Edit Apache's httpd.conf file by adding the following:

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
   AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</IfModule>

2. Create test.fcgi file in (for example) c:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache2\cgi-bin directory with this content:

#!c:\ruby\bin\rubyw.exe
require 'fcgi'
counter = 0
FCGI.each_cgi('html3') do |cgi|
   counter += 1
   cgi.out {
     cgi.html {
       cgi.body {
         cgi.h1 { "Hello World!" } +
         cgi.p { "Counter: #{counter}" }
       }
     }
   }
end

3. Hit http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.fcgi

Cheers,
Kent.
