I think it does. We do similar things here.
example code of the type of thing we do:
# All of the packages are Foo::<something>
my $BASE_PACKAGE = "Foo";
$type_string = /^TYPE:\s*(.+)$/;
# Type is used as the package name
my $type = $1;
my $sub = LoadPlugin($type, "process_line");
&{$sub}($arg1, $arg2, ...);
sub LoadPlugin
{
my $package = shift();
my $routine = shift();
# construct Foo::$type
my $plugin = $BASE_PACKAGE . "::" . $package;
# try to load it
eval "require $plugin";
if($@)
{
die "Couldn't load $plugin";
}
# if we've loaded successfully return a
# ref to the function
my $sub = \&{$plugin . '::' . $routine};
return $sub;
}
This isn't the actual code we use, but the important points are here. It has worked pretty well for us.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
