What happens is your two subs get the full names
RunNoShell::RunNoShellErr
RunNoShell::RunNoShell
Without those lines, their full names are
MAIN::RunNoShellErr
MAIN::RunNoShell
Since you are explicitly running RunNoShell::RunNoShell, you get an error
with the second because there is no sub by that name.
Again, this is no different from Perl 5 if you forget to include 'package
RunNoShell;' And this matters only in the case where you explicitly asked
for RunNoShell::RunNoShell instead of just RunNoShell, which importing
handles for you.
