It seems that it was just an error with the old version of ruby I had
installed.  I went and checked the exact line in the cgi.rb library
that I had and compared it against the new one and found a difference
so I just upgraded and it seemed to take care of it - sorry for not
trying to obvious sooner.
thanks for writing back!
