I think I need to explain what the concept behind this is.

What I want is a main script that runs a program (here called Main.pl).

However, users may want to add on functions to Main.pl and change things within the program, and then share this with other users. Instead of modifying the Main.pl code, I'd like a plug-in to be run (Child.pl here). That way someone could write a modification for Main.pl, and novice users could simply drop it into a plug-ins folder. Main.pl would then communicate with the scripts in the plug-ins folder. Does that make more sense?
