Sorry. I meant that the above works only if I put use WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::French; and use WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::Italian; in Word.pm, while I'd like to put those two instructions in Languages.pm only
# Word.pm
package Word;
use strict;

use Class::Struct;
use WordExposed::Languages;
use WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::French;    # IT WORKS
use WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::Italian;   # IT WORKS

struct Word => {
    english      => '$',
    language     => '$',
    translation  => '$',
};

sub set {
    my $self = shift();
    my $english = shift();
    my $language = shift();
    $self->english($english);
    $self->language($language);
    $self->_translate();
}
1;

My idea is to separate the bunch of methods I have around for a given structure into some different modules/files, without having to refer to all of them in the Module that defines the structure (Word.pm above). In such a way that only Languages.pm deals with Fench.pm and Italian.pm and I only have to make changes to Languages.pm if I want to add - say - German.pm

I thought that the above is the only way to make available the translate() method to the Word structure, if it is defined in another file. I understand it is not :)
