The current directory '.' is a member of @INC, so if you
simply write your Perl module file in same directory as
the calling program it will work fine (as long as you don't
use a module name that already exists amongst the installed
modules). Try the following files. It should be easy enough
to expand from there to what you want.

** FILE ABC.pm

  package ABC;
  use strict;

  require Exporter;

  our @ISA = qw/ Exporter /;

  our @EXPORT = qw/ xyz /;

  sub xyz {
    print "ABC::xyz() called\n";
  }

** FILE xyz.pl

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use ABC;

  xyz();

** OUTPUT

  ABC::xyz() called
