My main reason for wanting to know this is for maintaining my
code.
In Perl 5
use Term::ANSIColor qw ( BOLD BLUE RED GREEN RESET );
I can do a simple search to figure our where the heck
(may not be my "actual" word) `BOLD` came from.
If I want to doubly make sure I know where things came from,
I can write
Term::ASNIColor::BOLD
I have no such option in Perl 6 to do this. This is the ONLY
thing I like better in p5 that is better than p6. (Perl 5's
sub declarations are a nightmare.)
So I am looking for a substitute way of doing this. So
back to my original question:
The name of the file is `RunNoShell.pm`
It has two exported subs:
sub RunNoShellErr ( $RunString ) is export
sub RunNoShell ( $RunString ) is export
If I place
unit module RunNoShell;
at the top, what happens?
All subs get exported?
Do I have to import them differently
Old way:
use RunNoShell; # qx[ RunNoShell ];

You have misunderstood. The reason you can do that in Perl 5 is because
Term/ANSIColor.pm starts with
package Term::ANSIColor;
It has nothing to do with what you named the file, it is a matter of
namespaces. And Perl 5 and Perl 6 behave mostly the same here (Perl 6
has a few more options). Neither one will create a new namespace just
because you stuck something in a different file; you must in both cases
specify the namespace ("package: in Perl 5, "unit module" in Perl 6).
Not sure why you did not answer my question. Maybe I am just confused.
