If you write a base class Handler::Email and within Handler::GreenWidget you do: 
use base 'Handler::Email';

sub email { 'green2341@place.com' }

And in Handler::Email you do: 
sub handle {
    my $email = $self->email;
    # send email
    # ...
}

I think you get the point.
So you don't have to duplicate similar code.
