Howdy, Okay, let me follow up a bit on my earlier response. Doing

  __FILE__ eq $0 and main();
[download]

should work for what you are trying to do. This will tell you if the file (not the package) was executed directly. Your scripts will need to do:

  BEGIN { require "myfile" }
[download]

before you can call any of the subroutines because

  use myfile;
[download]

insists on slapping on the .pm extension.
