As you can with Ruby using something called eruby, or erb. Eruby can
be embedded with Apache. The convention is that .rhtml files are
served by eruby.

As with Apache, eruby is embedded in HTML, with Ruby statements being
flagged using special delimiters.

Combine that with Ruby's libraries, and you've got a viable, and fully 
OO, alternative to PHP.
