I understand that the symbols must be used in the same block as the
require statement. There is then still a problem, namely the difference
between linux and windows.
In the mean time I will try to get the usage of the functions to the
block where it is required.

thanks for the link, I will look into it.
The code for which the windows implementation fails but not on linux,
can be found here;
https://github.com/MARTIMM/config-datalang-refine/blob/master/lib/Config/DataLang/Refine.pm6
the requires are at line 57 and 64
and the error is thrown at line 193 where the function is used.
thanks again,

Since I've installed perl6 version 2017.03-234-g0ebdaa4 built on MoarVM
version 2017.03-128-gc9ab59c, several modules are experiencing failures
when using the following construct (golfed down)(I am sure that the
module loads)
my $m = 'somemodule';
require ::($m);
my $o = ::($m).new;
However, in a simple setup it works fine. I could manage to rewrite
things in such a way that errors disappear, but I do not understand it.
A question is 'Are the symbols loaded lexically in such a way that it is
not possible to instantiate the class in another method?'
A remaining bug on windows(with latest rakudostar) shows the error;
Failed to load Config::TOML;
Lexical with name '&from-toml' does not exist in this frame
when using something like the following
my $m = 'Config::TOML';
require ::($m) <&from-toml>;

Other things I've seen before are; not able to find the class name
symbol when I want to instatiate the class, or the .^name is shorter
than the real class name should be, which accounts for the first error.

Can't reproduce either of the issues you describe. Do you have a piece of code
we can run that repos the problem?
Also, have you seen the lexical require Upgrade Notification?
http://rakudo.org/2017/03/18/lexical-require-upgrade-info/
my $m = 'Test';
require ::($m) <&ok>;
ok 1, 1;
# OUTPUT: ok 1 - 1
my $m = 'DBIish';
require ::($m);
my $o = ::($m).new;
dd $o;
# OUTPUT: DBIish $o = DBIish.new
