When I get the segfault, I am using mod_iowa.  I'm not sure how to call
iowa as a cgi.

When I try to use the guestbook, I am running guestbook.rb, then
accessing Main.html from the web.

http://myhostname/iowa/guestbook/Main.html

Apache 1.3.20-16 running on RedHat 7.2 (presumably compiled with gcc 2.96).
Ruby 1.6.5, compiled with gcc 3.0.3.
IOWA 0.15, compiled with gcc 3.0.3.

No kidding.  I'd really like to use IOWA, since it looks like it will
abstract away so much of the annoying parts of writing CGI scripts.

Are there any other systems like IOWA that will abstract away the CGI
session maintenance?  I think I have more than enough options for now
for HTML templates.

Thanks for your help,

Paul
