The trouble is, almost nobody runs Ruby this way any more, and so you're 
likely to find yourself without support even if you manage to make it 
work. mod_ruby is crusty, and especially having multiple ruby apps all 
sharing the same ruby interpreter instance is a recipe for security 
nightmares and applications stomping on each other.

These days, I suggest you would be best running one of the following:

* Phusion Passenger, a.k.a. mod_rails
* A reverse proxy (e.g. Apache mod_proxy or Nginx) talking to a ruby 
backend webserver (e.g. mongrel, unicorn, rainbows etc)
* fastcgi, if neither of the above can work in your situation

In each case, the idea is that each ruby app is a self-contained HTTP 
server, with extra instances being forked as required to handle larger 
load. Phusion and mod_fcgi can do this dynamically for you.

You need some sort of framework for your app, unless you want to write 
native Rack apps. I would suggest Sinatra as a very simple approach 
which supports ERB templates nicely.

Regards,

Brian.
