mod_ruby is compatible with NPH-CGI, and does not output the HTTP
status line.
So you have to output the HTTP status line by yourself.

print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
print "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"
print "hello world"

Or you can use cgi.rb.
I recommand this method.

require 'cgi'

cgi = CGI.new
print cgi.header("type"=>"text/plain")
print "hello world"
