             If you want to use the other way, the CheckSystemDependency

        "my" and
             the only way the name can be seen outside the
        CheckSystemDependency
             module is for it to be exported and for your module to
        import it.

             You cannot simply call any sub you see in a different
        module. If it
             is not explicitly declared "our" then you cannot access it;
        it is
             declared locally to that module and cannot be seen anywhere
        else.


        If this is still not clear, let's try an example:

            pyanfar Z$ 6 'module Foo { sub a { say "nope" }; our sub b {
        say "yep" } }; Foo::b();'
            yep
            pyanfar Z$ 6 'module Foo { sub a { say "nope" }; our sub b {
        say "yep" } }; Foo::a();'
            Could not find symbol '&a'
              in block <unit> at -e line 1

    Hi Brandon,

    What am I doing wrong, now?

    in the pm6:

    9:  our sub Which (
    10:    $ProgramName,    # name of the program to search for
    11:    $HowToExit )     # live | die
    12: is export {


    in the pl6:

    8:  use CheckSystemDependancy; # qw[ Which ];
    36: $Found = CheckSystemDependancy::Which( $ProgramName, $HowToExit );


    Error:

    Could not find symbol '&Which'
       in block <unit> at ./CheckSystemDependancy.pl6 line 36

No symptom change.

:'(

That space thing is a bad habit I picked up from Perl 5
