If I understand you correctly, yes, but what would be the point? 6000 lines distributed over several files which, when called, are combined back into a 6000 line script doesn't really do anything. The result is the same: a 6000 line script.
This is especially helpful with multiple developers.
Better to use modules or objects. You might start by reading the perl docs: 'perlmod' and 'perlmodstyle' are good places to start.
