Maybe it's just me, but I think that if a file carries the #! at the beginning and it is not meant to be executed directly, then that is a bug. It is minor, but still a bug. I don't know about PHP, but Python modules can absolutely go without a #! at the start. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
