Thanks for the link Kent.  It wouldn't work at all for me.  Both ruby-run
and eruby-run crashes the Apache2 child process and causes one to have
to stop and restart Apache.  This is under Windows XP.

So I decided to become an Apache module developer (of sorts) and 
downloaded the Apace2.0.48 source, compiled it in VC++, then
downloaded mod_ruby 1.1.2 source, hand applied the changes from the
above link, compiled that and ended up crashing and burning just as above.
*sniff*

On a whim, well not exactly a whim as I found some related clues in how
mod_php is compiled and linked, I changed the -MD flag passed to the 
compiler to -MT which links in the multi-threaded runtime library staticly
LIBCMT.LIB vs. MSVCRT.DLL, and......

Bingo!  I'm now happily writing Ruby and Eruby code type stuffs.  Whee!

Thanks for the clue. :-)
