Subject: [ruby-talk:21242] Creating a module hierarchy - advice needed.

I'm trying to create a library of Win32 functions (most come from C 
extensions).  Initially, I was going to put them all into one big module - 
but now I'm thinking I should partition this library into various related 
catagories (similar to the Perl Win32 modules), so that the hierarchy 
might look like:
  Win32
     Process
     GUI
     GuiTest
     SystemInfo
     Misc
     
Here's the question: How do I specify a hierarchy like this?
I've tried to do something like:
module Win32::Process
  def killProcess
  end
end

 
but 'Win32::Process' gives a parse error.

Do I actually have to do something like this in each file that defines one 
of these modules:

module Win32
  module Process
  ...
  end
end
