This has nothing to do with Moose. It's the same for any module. You can do
something like
package Foo;
runMe();
sub runMe {
...
} # end runMe()
1;
When a module gets loaded, it first gets compiled and then the code in the file scope
gets run. This is how the module does its return of a true value: the result of require
is the last value returned by execution of the module, which is traditionally handled by
putting a "1;" at the end.
