Module not reading properly

The use of modules in Julia is painful for me, after using many languages. However, I am persevering.

In a file pickle.jl, I have the following code:

module Pickle
export mypickle, myunpickle

using PyCall
@pyimport pickle

function mypickle(filename, obj)
    out = open(filename,"w")
    pickle.dump(obj, out)
    close(out)
end

function myunpickle(filename)
    r = nothing
    @pywith pybuiltin("open")(filename,"rb") as f begin
        r = pickle.load(f)
    end
    return r
end

end

I include this file from main.jl`:

include("pickle.jl")

and get the error:

julia> include("pickle.jl")
ERROR: LoadError: syntax: extra token "Pickle" after end of expression

Am I doing something obviously wrong? I do not see it.
