Re: Embedded perl5 modules

Steffen: Sorry, Didnt see all correspondence immediately, and hence 
responded twice.
But here is an effort using Gtk2. It works.
Can anyone explain why the lines with .can, whilst the other syntaxes 
dont work?
<file Gtk2Helper.pm>
package Gtk2Helper;
use Gtk2;
sub new_Window {
   return Gtk2::Window->new(@_);
};
sub new_Button {
   return Gtk2::Button->new(@_);
};
1;
<end file>
<file Gtk2_test.p6>
use perl5:Gtk2;
use perl5:Gtk2Helper;

Gtk2.init;

#This does not work
#my $window = Gtk2Helper.new_Window('toplevel');
#This does not work
#my $window = Gtk2Helper::new_Window('toplevel');

# The following works
my &nw := Gtk2Helper.can('new_Window');
my $window = nw('toplevel');

my &nb := Gtk2Helper.can('new_Button');
my $button = nb('Quit this dull mortal world');
$button.signal_connect('clicked', sub { Gtk2.main_quit });
$window.add($button);
$window.show_all;
Gtk2.main;
