Modules are for splitting code into manageable and seperate chunks. CPAN accepts modules because that's the easiest ways for others to use the code, if it's in a seperate chunk. I'm not sure how, out of this, you got that the only thing modules are good for is CPAN, but you can write modules to your heart's content without them ever getting anywhere near CPAN. @ISA is for inheritance, in an OO design; Exporter is to aid you in exporting functions and variables from your module. They're seperate concepts, and neither is required for a functioning module. As others have suggested, see the relevant Perl documentation.
