what is a perl module

Is a Perl module a set of similar subroutines? For example: is there something like a "math" module? Then you have to read descriptions of what the module contains?

CPAN has Math::Algebra, Math::Approx, Math::BaseArith, Math::BaseCalc, Math::Bezier, Math::BigFloat, Math::BigInt, Math::BigRat, Math::BooleanEval, Math::Calculus::Differentiate, Math::Calculus::TaylorSeries, Math::Combinatorics, Math::Complex, ..., etc.
There is no standard module called named just "math", but you can write one yourself, and include whatever you want in it.

ozo: I figured "math" was too general of a division, but I've read that function/procedure names are too specific. Where does the line get drawn?
