REAL Software does not seem to provide such an example (which is odd,
since they do advertise that this can be done).  Is it missing so as
to not compete with Swordfish va****ware?  That seems a bit unlikely to
me.  Most likely a simple oversight.  Regardless, there are other
resources to which you can go to learn how to write RB-based CGI's.

A MacTech article from 2004 gives a detailed example of how to do it
with REALbasic 5.5 Professional:

..

There are some sample projects already constructed by others you can
download, although I have not tried them and cannot speak to their
quality:
