If you want to require "use MyCode::ProcessC" be added to the "data type" class, then that is just standard, run-of-the-mill Exporter.pm work with @EXPORT= qw( process_c ).

But it sounds like you want the "use MyCode::ProcessC" to be somewhere else. Since you are useing and not requireing, you could put the exporting code into MyCode::ProcessC::import (rather than a BEGIN block), which means that it would be called multiple times if you use MyCode::ProcessC multiple times. But that might be a good thing if you want to be "general purpose".

For example, you could require:     use MyCode::ProcessC( "DataType::Class" ); in the main script and have MyCode/ProcessC.pm contain: 

package MyCode::ProcessC;
use strict;
sub import {
    if(  2 != @_  ) {
        require Carp;
        Carp::croak( 'Usage: use ',__PACKAGE__,
            '( "DataType::Class" )' );
    }
    my( $self, $class )= @_;
    for my $meth (  qw( process_c )  ) {
        no strict 'refs';
        *{$class."::".$meth}= \&$meth;
    }
}
