Both use and require will do the job. The @INC array by default includes the current directory, '.', as its last entry, so you can split your program into Perl modules in the same directory. 'use' is more appropriate as it happens at compile time (whereas 'require' pulls the file in at run time). 'use' also calls the module's 'import' method, if it has one (although there's no need for one).
You might also consider 'do', which does a (run time) 'eval' on the contents of the file, and also searches the directories in @INC.
