I am starting a project which i would like to split into different files for manageability. I am under the impression that files are not simply included, and modules are created and included. If so, i would like to keep all of the files in the same directory.

This is new to me, and i have a few questions.

1. Is it preferable or to split up files, or does it make no difference?
2. Is the preferable way to split via modules?
3. Where are the modules kept?
4. Do the modules need to be compiled?
5. Is there a naming scheme for project/related files?

I was searching for these things online, but the words split brings up help about modules that split, and local directory modules bring up how to Make a module. Is there a good name to use for splitting up a perl project into smaller parts?
