[Borges-users] cgi-lib

I'm having a little trouble with the CGIDRbClient.rb approach to Borges
and was wondering if I could get a hand with it.  I'm extremely excited
by the Borges approach to web applications and cannot wait to get up to
my armpits in it, but I'm having a tiny issue with Ruby 1.8.2 and the
cgi-bin/borges approach.

Basically, I'm getting an error from within the cgi-bin.rb code, because
it's trying to call sub on Array (rather than string: somehow the
Content-Type header is being wrapped in an Array.)  My point, however,
is that cgi-lib is deprecated as of Ruby 1.8.1, and I was wondering why
Borges still uses it.  How much of a hassle is it going to be to update
CGIDRbClient.rb to use cgi instead?

(I'm also a trifle concerned that there's no credible Borges traffic at
all following May of 2004.  I hope this framework isn't six months dead.)
