Have you read the man pages on modules ?
perlmod Perl modules: how they work
perlmodlib Perl modules: how to write and use
perlmodstyle Perl modules: how to write modules with style
perlmodinstall Perl modules: how to install from CPAN
perlnewmod Perl modules: preparing a new module for

In Perl you have the concept of packages which you can read about in
the above references. A package would house a class and its methods.
Packages have their own name space. Packages and modules can be
thought of as the same thing basically when you're using OO. But I'm
no expert on OO terminology.
