Here's a pattern I've used many timess successfully in the past:
- Force all parsers to use a specified namespace (e.g., EP::Parser::Soemthing)
- In your main class (e.g., EP::Parser) have a routine that runs at 'use' or 'require' time that use something like Module::Find to find all modules in the specified namespace.
- Iterate through the modules and 'require' each of them
Since this runs whenever the module is loaded it will complain at startup if one of the implementations is incorrect.
For another layer of abstraction you can combine the above with use of Class::Factory as the parent class and associating each of the implementations with a simple name rather than a class name.

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).
