No, the OP is correct. In the CGI library, cgi['foo'] is an array. This 
is to allow for usage such as /myprogram.cgi?foo=123&foo=456

However, the next line should probably say

    sess["bgcolor"] = cgi['bgcolor'][0]

or else later on,

    cgi.body ("bgcolor" => sess["bgcolor"][0]){

But as to the problem with CGI::Session: I'm afraid it's a very long 
time since I bothered with rhtml or CGI, and I'm not sure that mod_ruby 
has had much care and attention.

These days I think you'll find that most people write Rack applications 
(Rails and Sinatra are both layers on top of Rack), so Rack's 
session-handling is much more widely tested.

Deploying a Rails or Sinatra application under Apache is very easily 
done with Phusion Passenger.
