WEBrick has too many UNIX-isms to work well on a microsoft platform,
I've got it working though.

In cgihandler.rb add ``<< ::Conifg::CONFIG['EXEEXT']'' to line 21, so
the correct name of the ruby interpreter is used.

I had to add quotes to line 22 to use the correct path, because my ruby
is installed in a non-standard location:

CGIRunner =3D "\"#{Ruby}\" \"#{Config::LIBDIR}/httpservlet/cgi_runner.rb\""

I had to start WEBrick with a CGIInterpreter:

s =3D WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:CGIInterpreter =3D> "\"#{WEBrick::HTTPServle=
t::CGIHandler::Ruby}\"")

I was then able to use a CGI:

s.mount("/hi", WEBrick::HTTPServlet::CGIHandler. "cgi.rb")

where cgi.rb was:

print "content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"

puts "hi"
