subroutine/function/procedure are (in Perl) all just the same thing. Because the thing is introduced with the keyword sub, the usual term is subroutine. Methods are subroutines as well - in fact, code wise, there's no difference, it's just that they are invoked differently.
how far can i write complex modules without using OOP concepts
All the way. There's nothing you can do OO wise you cannot do with non-OO modules. It's just a different style of programming. Use whatever you prefer (this is Perl after all, you can make Perl bend to your wishes instead of the other way around). I've a slight preference of writing OO myself, but I prefer maintaining non-OO code, and vastly prefer documentation of non-OO code over OO code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
