Default Synthesis Quesiton (single module vs. multiple modules)

Hi,

I have a question regarding synthesizing a verilog project.
Let's say we have 5 modules in a project and want to synthesize them. My
question is that if there's any difference between "placing all 5 modules
in a single .v file" and "having five .v files so each file consists of
one module".

Is there any difference between the two methods? (such as number of
modules created, P & R or timing)
Thanks!

If you are using ungroup -all in ur script. then it doesnt make a
difference.

logic optmisations will not cross module boundary unless ungroup
command is used. also pin(hierachical) names will be preserved in
Netlist.

You saving in terms of resources will be meagre but then you will be
sacrificing the modularity of the design.
