No, packages are not files. A package is created by a package statement: package Foo; If you do not explicitly create a package with a package statement, then you are in the main package. A package is a namespace. Functions and package variables created in one are associated with it. A module is a file that is loaded by a require or use statement. The only other requirement is that it end with a true value (usually 1). Often you will see a module that contains one package statement which leads to the confusion.
