Do anyone know of a book about CGI programming with the Ruby language?  
I’ve been unable to locate one on a Swedish internet bookstore.

I don’t know of an entire book dedicated to CGI and Ruby exclusively,  
but  
there’s a chapter (No. 19) about that in Hal F.'s Ruby Way, which is  
accessible online  
on Safari.

You’ll find also some material in Ruby Cookbook, also accessible via  
that website.

And, of course, there’s Pickaxe:

It’s probably not relevant to this inquiry, but I can’t help  
mentioning that there were two or three CGI Ruby books in Japanese as  
of 2002. I don’t know how many there are now or, more to the point,  
whether they’ve been translated.
