merlyn is right. Personally, while maybe not the most elegant way to do so, having to include a new use statement for each new module has a self-documenting quality to it. But it is indeed error prone.

What you could do is scan a particular directory for .pm files in a BEGIN block like so: 

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

BEGIN {
   # scan the current directory
   eval{require $_} for <*.pm>;
};

my @class = (
   Foo->new,
   Bar->new,
   Baz->new,
);

print Dumper $_ for @class;

This works (assuming that the corresponding modules exist and are free of compilation errors) , but without precautions it will really be more error prone than just using the modules explicitly. Neat stuff though .... Perl rules! :)
