You're almost good. Add '1;' to the end of mystuff.pm, just to return a true value when it compiles, and 'package mystuff;' to the beginning of the same so Perl knows it is a package. Also 'use warnings' and 'use strict' would be good in both...
As for where you put it: wherever you want. Just make sure that it gets included in the @INC path. The easiest is in the same folder as test.pl (assuming you always run test.pl from there), since the current folder is in the path.
