Subject: CGI and Webrick

Hey all,

I've just started poking at three Ruby tools I haven't yet used: DBI, 
Webrick, and CGI, and have a few questions:

* Is there good documentation for these somewhere?  The distribution site 
for DBI has one page listing methods for some of the objects, but not 
others.  For example, DBI::Row doesn't seem to be documented at all. 
Webrick seems about the same, there are some quick examples, but no API 
documentation I could find.

* Is there a way to get CGI to simply generate HTML?  I managed to get it 
to stop prompting me to set variables using:

echo | ruby my_cgi_using_prog.rb

But then it throws on content-type headers, which I don't want in my output.

* Does anybody have experience connecting Webrick and CGI?  Any tips, pointers?

Ben
