I don't want to load helper modules that potentially won't be used.

How does not calling the sub you need to call solve that?

The actual solution is to delay loading the module until you need it. 

sub rarely_called {
    require Text::Unidecode;
    return Text::Unidecode::unidecode($_[0]);
}

You can throw in an import in there if you so desire. 

sub rarely_called {
    require Text::Unidecode;
    import Text::Unidecode qw( unidecode );
    return unidecode($_[0]);
}
