Also, have a look at the XMLRPC server which is in the standard library.

You’ll find it installed on your system somewhere, perhaps somewhere  
like  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/server.rb

(Note that XMLRPC runs over HTTP rather than a plain socket, but you can  
probably steal some ideas from this code. Notice that  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/httpserver.rb uses GServer)
