First the print of header should change to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
And the rest might be as easy as adding -Ku to the command
line: "#!/path/to/ruby -Ku "

Otherwise a quick and dirty fix might be to use entitys instead of utf-8:

  require 'cgi'
  puts CGI.escapeHTML( '<a href="/mp3">Click Here</a>' )

Also
<http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext-howto-cgi.html?ruby-gettext-howto-cgi>
mentions set_output_charset("UTF-8") but I do not know it that is
part of standard ruby or an extension.

I may look into this more later on.
