Subject: html form generation problems

I think I must be doing something wrong.  I am attempting to generate a 
form which values from existing data.  Here is a simplified version of 
what I am trying to do (see below).  I don't get a form element with 
this, I get something like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"><HTML><BODY><FORM 
METHOD="post" 
ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">onetwothree</FORM></BODY></HTML>

I also notice the HEAD and TITLE tags are missing.  Any advice?

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require 'cgi'
cgi = CGI.new("html3")

ary = %w( one two three )

cgi.out do
   cgi.html do
     cgi.head do
       cgi.title("Form Test")
     end
   cgi.body do
     cgi.form do
       ary.each do |value|
         cgi.text_field(value, value)
       end
     end
   end
   end
end
