That depends on your webserver. Apache has the fast_cgi module, which
should help you in getting up to speed, if you use Apache. I'm certain
lighttp and NGinx have similar modules/plugins/whatever to facilitate
CGI.

And I think Ruby's Webrick HTTP server-cum-library should be able to
serve Ruby CGI scripts.

(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
