Sorry, I misunderstood.
Do you want to know how to use the standalone eruby command?

It works as a CGI program.
For example, please put the following eRuby file to the server.

--- test.cgi ---
#!/path/to/eruby
<html>
  <body>
    <p>
      <% print "hello world!" %>
    </p>
  </body>
</html>
----------------

And make it executable.

$ chmod +x test.cgi

If you access to http://your.host.name/path/to/test.cgi, you can
get a HTML processed by eruby.
