Okay, to question (a):
  • module: A file (*.pm) that contains one or more packages
  • package: The Perl equivalent of a C namespace; encapsulates subroutines or objects
  • script: A program, so to speak. Just that it is not executed, but interpreted by the Perl interpreter
  • subroutine: You could call it a procedure or a function. It is declared with sub blabla { ... and does the stuff you tell it to do
  • function: Does not really exist in Perl, but would be (if you think Pascal), a sub that returns a value. Just understand it as sub

To (b): I think there is a way, but I could not get it working :/. Hope the others have ideas...
Hope this helped anyways.
