Can you get plain Ruby files to load?

My setup:
Get xampp (now you have PHP, MySQL, pache all set up.. perhaps someone
who knows their stuff can make a Ruby module for xampp?)
 edit xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf
 add AddHandler cgi-script .rb at the bottom
 install Ruby using one click installer
 add the ruby binary to your %PATH%
 At the top of ruby files, add this line:

#!ruby

And at the top of the main ruby.rb file:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "\n\n"

# your ruby app...

That seems to be working, though I only just managed to get it working
today... rails has been working by itself, not sure how though :(
