Sure they do - just not to the browser.  It goes to the web server's
error log.    If you want errors to go to the browser, you can just
wrap the whole thing in a big begin/rescue block:

	begin 
	    ... entire CGI goes here
	rescue 
	    puts "Content-Type: text/plain"
	    puts
	    puts "Error #{$!}: #{$!.backtrace}"
	end

cgi.rb or mod_ruby may very well have something to do this for you;
I don't know them well.
