This will be in the next release (probably RC 1):
8) Prior to the availability of BEGIN PERL....END PERL in
configuration files, the only way to execute a chain-specific
script was to create a script file with the same name as the chain
and place it in a directory on the CONFIG_PATH. That facility has
the drawback that the compiler will attempt to run a non-script
file just because it has the same name as a chain. To disable this
facility, a new CHAIN_SCRIPTS option has been added to
shorewall[6].conf. The facility is disabled by setting
CHAIN_SCRIPTS=No. If not specified or specified as the empty value,
CHAIN_SCRIPTS=Yes is assumed for backward compatibility.
