Modules are actually pretty easy.
Try it: make a file in the same directory as a test script. Call it
abc.pm, and paste in this:
package abc; # this declares the namespace for the module
sub argtest { print "recieved: ", join(';', @_),"\n"; }
1; # always add this at the end of a module
now make test script tst.pl:
use abc;
abc::argtest(1..3);
then run it with
perl tst.pl
It should print:
recieved: 1;2;3
That's a horrifically simplistic example, but it's a good quick-start.

Then read
perldoc perlmod
perlmodlib
Worlds more to see in the OO examples, but that's for later. ;o]
