@INC has a hook mechanism, where you can place a callback instead of a string path.
The callback can decide to return the code if encountered by require while working thru @INC.

here some example code from an older discussion
in that case the code is fetched via HTTP, but it should be easy to to just fill in your RAM stuff instead.
