Hi monks,

Below is mentioned in perl6 syn:

As in Perl 5, a module is just a kind of package. Unlike in Perl 5, modules and classes are declared with separate keywords, but they're still just packages with extra behaviors.

To my surprise, That might mean We just say 'use Module' at any time!

Why do I say so?

We must say 'Module ...' if we make own module because we need export symbols. Meanwhile, because module is also a package, we don't need say 'Package ...' to create namespace of module symbols. Furthermore, at any scenes that we need to use package to distinguish symbols(like package variables or package functions), we can simply substitute 'Package ...;' by 'Module ...'.

So, Package is just a concept in perl6 but never be used, isn't it?

A superficial thought, I'm looking forward to guru's reply!

I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction
