Then you can just declare your subs in packages, as others have already said. To overwrite your own subs, users would need to name them with their fully qualified name, e.g. package Plugin; sub Core::overwritten_routine { return "foo" }. That is rather hard to write by accident.
After that, the only thing I can see to prevent (probably malicious, at this point) users from overwriting your subs is whipping up some PPI and checking any source files you require before actually requiring them. With your setup and in your environment, the hassle is probably not worth it.

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).
