Subject: Anything like Mason in Ruby?

Hi,

I'm interested in server-side dynamic web content.  I've had some experience
with ColdFusion and Perl.  I have a Mason book coming in the mail, though I
have no experience in Mason, yet.  I'm curious what is the best Ruby-ish way
to do server-side processing.  I've looked at mod_ruby and eruby.  Is this
the closest match to Mason?

My goal here is to compare the ease of producing DB-based content using
ColdFusion (which I'm experienced with through work) with using Mason or
using a Ruby solution at home.  My home needs don't need scalability.  It
only needs to be easy and quick to write.

[For those who don't know, Mason is a Perl solution for server-side
processing with Apache.]
