yap, install the ruby-debug gem and require it in environment.rb

than just put anywhere you want “debugger”, and in the server output you  
will get a breakpoint-console-like access to your application flow.

If you want a much more comfortable front-end for that, you can install  
Aptana RadRails. It uses ruby-debug behind the scenes, but you get  
graphical breakpoints, inspection, stepping the code, etc…

Using it is as easy as telling RadRails to add a webrick or mongrel  
server to your project, changing the start mode from ‘run’ to ‘debug’  
and starting the server. After that you can comfortably toggle  
breakpoints directly on the margin of your editor and use the usual  
Eclipse debugging interface.

p.s. there are other IDEs such as Komodo or Netbeans that also allow  
this, but I work with RadRails
