Well ... it's hard to say what's "happening".
Here
$main::x = 5;
the :: separates the name of package (a separate namespace)
from the name of the variable.
Here
use Foo::Bar;
it separated the parts of the module name and will be "converted"
to / when looking up the module. That is perl will loop through the
directories in @INC array and look for subdirectory "Foo"
containing file "Bar.pm".
It will then load and compile the code and (if it exists) execute
function Foo::Bar::import().
Here
package Foo::Bar;
it's not "doing" anything. It's just a part of the name of the package.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
