I don't know what a Ruler is. I'm guessing it's a way to measure
distances between two points.

Eagle has a Mark command. That's the starting point of a ruler.
Then when you move the mouse, the info window shows both the
absolute coordinates but also the coordinates relative to the Mark.

Look at the help page for more info.
