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.
