Does this (from the docs) do the trick?

Or if you want to instantiate each plugin rather than just return the
        name

            package MyClass;
            use Module::Pluggable instantiate => 'new';

        and then

            # whatever is passed to 'plugins' will be passed
            # to 'new' for each plugin
            my @plugins = $mc->plugins(@options);

For non object-oriented modules you could combine require and instantiate 
=> import for an equivalent to use.
