Well, it would help a lot if you would tell us which error you get. Because your
code looks fine to me.
Also, if you "just" want to move stuff into an external file, use
dofile("widgetfile.lua") instead of require("widgetfile"). Then you can just put
"normal" stuff into widgetfile.lua, everything up to module("widgetfile") is not
required in this case.
However, since this isn't a lua module then, your makecpuw()-function would just
be makecpuw(), not widgetfile.makecpuw().
Cheers,
Uli
