in reply to not waiting for module to return

Why asking can give you your own answer:

I've been looking at this off and on for over a month, and as I went through the code again to see what to post, it just hit me that the reason it is returning is because the sub is opening a GTK window (that way the original window can keep functioning).

sorry everyone, and thanks for asking for more info. :)

BTW, any clues on the problem with having to call it with Category::edit_categories?

    using a module doesn't import the functions into the namespace you are using. So you will have to call edit_categories() through the included module unless you use Exporter to import the function into the current namespace to call it like:
    edit_categories();

    instead of
    &Categories::edit_categories();
