You don't have to have eruby. Check out
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_network.html#S3

You should be able to copy/paste the CGI example there to a file -- change
the extension to .cgi, put it in the cgi-bin folder of your Apache
hierarchy -- and a shebang line like:

  #! c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe

(of course, putting the path to your ruby.exe, and yes, use forward slashes
even on Windows, Apache will take care of interpreting it correctly)

as the first line in your file and you're set.

I've not messed with any of the other Ruby web/cgi libs (mod_ruby, eruby,
etc...), so I can't help you there.
