fcgi

[Tom Allison]

I am a little familiar with running FCGI applications and have done some work in
Perl.

Under Perl I can test it easily enough by running the script from command line
with STDIN/STDOUT and command line args. But this doesn't work at all under ruby.

A different approach is needed.

Is there something I could do to simplify the testing/development of fcgi
scripts under ruby instead of editing them in cgi-bin and trying to run them
from there?
