in thread How to pass an argument to a Module?

If you module is a class, you have written a call to a class method. (That is even better than what I had in mind.) If not, the initialize function would have to be written, passed, and called the same way as every other function in the module.

    I just tried it on a simple package and it works :o)
    You're right, as it's not a class i'm doing: 

    use Mod;
Mod::initialize('argument');

    It is more simple than the previous solutions, and does what i need. Thank you !

    It is less 'elegant' though : there is an additional line of code to put in the client code, each time.
    If someone knows how to use IMPORT i'm still interested in learning.

      Despite the Perl6::Export::Attrs pod, IMPORT should just be a plain old sub.

      sub IMPORT { ... }

      Here's a full example:

      use 5.010;
use strict;

{
    package Local::MyTest;
    no thanks;
    use Perl6::Export::Attrs;
    
    sub foobar :Export(:DEFAULT) {
        return 1;
    }
    
    sub IMPORT {
        say "in the IMPORT block! Got: @_";
    }
}

use Local::MyTest qw(1 2 3 :DEFAULT);
say "YEAH!" if foobar();
