Apples and oranges... Ajax is mostly javascript running on the browser side and can work with any interactive web server, where ruby and perl are scripting languages that work on the server side. If you want speed, you'd use mod_perl under apache or a standalone mongrel running ruby.
However, it is probably a lot easier if you want ajax to use one of the server libraries that integrate things (Google Web Toolkit for java, Yahoo! UI Library for php, Ruby-on-Rails) or at least a library like jquery.

Fair enough, but AFAIK AJAX is quicker to the end user than Ruby,although Ruby could use AJAX as well.
So, from what I've gathered here, it could be a good idea to work with PERL + Ruby, and then add AJAX for the interface.
