You are not showing us how you are refering to this file.  =E2=80=9Cdeadbee=
f=E2=80=9D is
a variable, but something in your channel specification treats it as a
module.  The easiest way to fix this is to turn the above code into a
proper module, i.e. a file with a define-module expression at the top
and a matching name.

Can you show us the rest of your code?
