Yes. Actually, “source” is the name of the input that corresponds to
the ‘source’ field of the package. So, if your package does
(package
(source (origin (... (uri ".../gh.pl"))))
...)
then in the builder, (assoc-ref %build-inputs "source") will be
/nix/store/...-gh.pl.

I meant they provide procedures equivalent in functionality to
Coreutils, Findutils, and sed.

(guix build utils) is not a standard Guile module, so if your build
script wants to use it, it needs to be made available in the chroot
where that build script is run. That’s what the #:module argument does.
Then ‘use-modules’ does the actual import.
