Subject: Apache and Ruby

Hi,

New to ruby and apache.  Been trying to get a simple ruby script to run  
via apache.  The script is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "cgi"
cgi = CGI.new("html3")
cgi.out("text/plain"){
     "Hello World"
}

I attempt to access it with my browser via an address like:   
http://127.0.0.1/script.rb.  Apache is clearly not running ruby since I  
get the script back verbatim to the browser.  Plain html, ie no ruby, is  
working.  So far, in my search for an answer I haven't found anything to  
alleviate my problems.  Interestingly, I have eRuby working, ie I can  
embed ruby code in my html, but not ruby.  What special Apache incantation  
do I need to get it working?  I'm running Opera/FireFox, Apache 2.2.3 and  
Ruby 1.8.5 on FreeBSD 6.1 system.  I am not interested in getting rails  
working right now, just ruby.

Any help would be appreciated.
