If it were me I'd write a class for each manner of scanning. Then your script can use the appropriate classes(you could have this be based upon a config file if you want), which register themselves with a base class. Scanning then simply requires the base class to try each of the registered sub-classes.

    This sounds like exactly what I want but I'm not sure on how to do the registration part. Any hints on that?

      The &import for each subclass could call some method of the baseclass eg; &register. register would determine it's caller and add the subclass name to some internal list; over which you later iterate calling scan.
