[julia-users] Executing anonymous function on worker fails when wrapped in a module

['Greg Plowman' via julia-users]

I'm trying to execute an anonymous function on a worker from within a 
module:

getCores(pid) = remotecall_fetch(pid, ()->CPU_CORES)

module Banana
    export getCores2
    getCores2(pid) = remotecall_fetch(pid, ()->CPU_CORES)
end



Firstly, is using anonymous function,()->CPU_CORES, as above a good way to 
return a global variable from a worker?

I can execute getCores successfully, but getCores2 fails:
Is it possible to "escape" the anonymous function in some way?


julia> getCores(2)
4

julia> using Banana

julia> getCores2(2)
