a begginers question

hey
i'm very much new to unix
i'm trying to write a script which goes through given files and checks if the files begin with # and if they are executable
my problem is that when i try to check the result of my query i'm getting nada
let me explain :
when i write
if (`file $i | grep 'executable' `=~ ?*)

or
if (`head -1 $i | grep '^#' ` != ``)

i'm getting weird results
i'm guessing my sintax is way off here...
any suggestions on the proper syntax for checking if the return value of this query isn't NULL...?

thanks in advance

A "Net::DNS::Question" object represents a record in the question section of a DNS packet. METHODS

In dynamic update packets, this field is known as "zname" and refers to the zone name. qtype, ztype print "qtype = ", $question->qtype, " "; print "ztype = ", $question->ztype, " "; Returns the record type. In dymamic update packets, this field is known as "ztype" and refers to the zone type (must be SOA). qclass, zclass print "qclass = ", $question->qclass, " "; print "zclass = ", $question->zclass, " "; Returns the record class. In dynamic update packets, this field is known as "zclass" and refers to the zone's class. print $question->print; Prints the question record on the standard output. string print $qr->string, " "; Returns a string representation of the question record. data $qdata = $question->data($packet, $offset); Returns the question record in binary format suitable for inclusion in a DNS packet. Arguments are a "Net::DNS::Packet" object and the offset within that packet's data where the "Net::DNS::Question" record is to be stored.
