"Can I make a code that saves information just like a login but with two files in the same directory?"

Yes, but this makes no sense since you suggest "file 1" should contain the user and password details, "file 2" contains this with the addition of the stage. Why have two files when "file 2" contains all of this data? This is the only question I can find in your post. I suggest you think about your design some more and read How do I post a question effectively?. If you have any questions quesitons please feel free to ask.

"Also I heard Perl isn't much for games so if this isn't possible"

Your question has nothing specific to computer games, you're asking about basic file input and output.

I apologise for not writing it more clear, was all bunched up in my head. What I meant was file 1 is where everything happens and file 2 is just a file where it holds the user, password, and stage level. So when I login while running file 1, it gets the information from file 2. And when I save in file 1, it saves any changes in file 2.

Sure, keeping your perl code and application data in separate files is common practice. You could even store this data in a database, for example DBD::SQLite.
