Certainly not :) Though I guess any identifier could do that then. Are you
sure there's no whitespace or other content on the line? Can you show us an
example?

celtic@sohma:~$ cat test.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

puts "Hi there!"

__END__

This is just great.

celtic@sohma:~$ ruby test.rb
Hi there!
celtic@sohma:~$

Thanks!

Arlen
