While writing a module is more work, it's better and safer, IMHO. 'use'
actually does a require, but has some other things it does, like proerply
imports exported sub names, etc.
As for which directory, use any directory you wish. You can always put
the directory in the PERL5LIB environment variable, or, do this in your
files:
use lib '/path/to/Module'; #adds /path/to/Module to @INC
use Module;
BTW, . is already included in @INC, so you can put the moduel in the saem
directory as your script.
