How do I make a procedure private to a module?

    module testing
    ! want to expose function "good" but not function "secret".
    ! integer, PRIVATE:: secret ! doesn't work
    contains
        integer function good(i)
        integer i
        good= i
        return
        end function good

        !integer, PRIVATE:: function secret(i) ! doesn't work
        integer function secret(i)
        integer i
        ! PRIVATE secret ! doesn't work either
        bad= -i
        return
        end
    end module testing

I could have sworn the first construct was legal. The Portland pgf90
(not sure what release) accepts it but Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6
doesn't. Both compilers reject the other two attempts. Is CVF
correct?

I could always move secret() to a module "testing_priv" which is used
only within "testing", but is there a better way?
