I'm assuming you mean get the CGI forms parameters?

Here is a small CGI script:
<SNIP>
#!/store/bin/ruby 

require "cgi"

print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
print "<html><body><H1>Hello World!</H1>"
cgi = CGI.new
print "X="
print cgi['x']


print "<P>...end...'</P>"
print "</body></html>\r\n"
</SNIP>

.... which I then surfed to with parameters like this:
