I haven't played with the .Package class much, but it says this in the doc:
The files loaded by ::REQUIRES are also contained in Package class
instances.
So, I think that p = .Package~new()
is going to behave like:
::requires 'p.txt'
and if p.txt is
say 'hi this is me'
say 'bye'
Then when you require p.txt those 2 lines of code are going to run. Which
is what happens in your test. Change your test to this
a=.array~new
a~append("::routine speak public")
a~append("say 'hi this is me'")
a~append("say 'bye'")
a~append("return 0")
p=.package~new("package1",a)
r = speak()
and try it.
Although I just did and it didn't work as I expected. But, it is more like
what I think should work.
