"Powered by Ruby" website

Rubyzens,

I’m venturing into developing a website which will be “Powered by Ruby”.
This will be my first attempt to do so and my web hosts
(http://www.totalweb-inc.com) have promptly made Ruby available on their
Linux servers for this purpose at no extra cost.

Now my question is what module(s) will I need to install on the server
besides the interpreter ? Initially I am ** not ** planning to do anything
database related (although I can use MySQL if required).

Just enough to get started. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Again,
please note that this is going to be my learning experience, since I know
very little of web development.

TIA,
– shanko

The most obvbious choices for me would be the mod_ruby plugin for Apache
as well as eRuby.
