Well, th const_missing sollution does work, but only in scripts called 
directly in shell by 'ruby' executable. When using it in script called 
in browser i get:

[Tue Mar 20 16:56:49 2007] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
[Tue Mar 20 16:56:49 2007] [error] mod_ruby: 
/home/services/httpd/html/TRON/ruby/index.rb:11: uninitialized constant 
#<Module:0xb6a6ea30>::Test (NameError)
[Tue Mar 20 16:56:49 2007] [error] mod_ruby:   from 
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:38:in `load'
[Tue Mar 20 16:56:49 2007] [error] mod_ruby:   from 
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:38:in `handler'

Got apache 2.2 with mod_ruby configured as follows:

LoadModule ruby_module  modules/mod_ruby.so

<IfModule mod_ruby.c>

        AddType text/html .rb

        RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

        <Files *.rb>
                Options +ExecCGI
                SetHandler ruby-object
                RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
        </Files>

</IfModule>

What i`ve been trying to get is an equivalent of PHP __autoload() 
routine working under both shell execution and apache handler. Know any?
