Hi All.
After looking into and with some experience in mod_python, mod_perl,
mod_ruby and PHP, I’ve found that mod_ruby has everything that I had
been looking for in PHP and everything I’d been looking for in Perl.
However, my questions to you guys who have used ruby more in depth are…
How’s Ruby’s XML parsing compared to Perl/Python?
What about Databases? Support?

blah
REXML rocks.
Ruby’s DBI/DBD has done everything i’ve needed (i use PostgreSQL).
And Support? Great User Community! They even answer all my dumb questions 
Plus the mail archives. And there are some really good books. And heck, if you
know Japanese there are a lot more resources. There was some discussion about
proffesional support at one point. You may want to check the mail archives:

Sean Russell’s REXML (http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml) is
one of the more popular choices for XML parsing in Ruby, and I believe
it’s being considered for inclusion in Ruby 1.8 as one of the standard
libraries. But if it’s not to your liking, there are a number of
alternative XML parsing libraries listed in the RAA.

What about them?
REXML is really tasty, and there’s libxml binding.
What concerns me more for this moment is performance. Actually,
that’s why I’ve asked if any kind person still has fastcgi.rb or
could tell ‘just use fcgi’… (RAA link is broken)
PS: if there’s something I could help with by fiddling with kind
of bytecompiler, I’d be eager to.
