Is it possible to set up ruby on the web somehow so that it reports  
errors like PHP does?

Currently if I have a script that is not working, I need to putty/ssh  
into my site and run the script there at the command line. I’ve heard  
that there are tools which make Ruby/Perl/Pyhton CGI report errors like  
PHP does, anyone know of some solutions like this?

Thanks,

You may want to consider posting all your questions in one  
mail/post 🙂 Also, there are several good web or non-web  
books about Ruby that will help you considerably.

“Programming Ruby, 2nd Edition” is the most popular.
