Not sure why you did not answer my question. Maybe I am just confused.

The question you asked was why putting sub RunInTerm in RunInTerm.pm6
did not declare a name RunInTerm::RunInTerm, it only declared a name
RunInTerm. You even provided a specific example of this question.
If you had a different question in mind, try asking it again.
That explains it. I was asking what happens and what
are the ramifications, not "why" it happened. I was
confused by your answer because I know you really,
really know your stuff.
If I place
unit module RunNoShell;
at the top, what happens?
1) All subs get exported? Or just the ones with
"export" in their declaration?
2) Do I have to import subs differently? Or do I
import them as normal?
Can I do a
use RunNoShell < RunNoShell RunNoShellErr >; ?
