I thought I'd refer you to my reply in an old thread with a similar topic.
I'm a Java guy myself (involuntarily at work). The biggest mental block I had regarding Perl's system for organizing code is basically: in Perl, a file != a module. That is, one single file can contain code for multiple namespaces... or there can be multiple files, all with code for a single namespace. This is in contrast to Java, where each file starts with a package declaration (or it's implicitly the default package), and you're working with your chosen namespace for the entire file.
perlmod is your definitive guide for all this.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
