Do a require and import for package Bar: 

package Foo;
require Bar;

sub import {
    my $class = shift; # first param is class name

    if (@_) {
        Bar->import(shift); # that's passed along
                            # with 'use Foo qw(x);'
    }
}
# more stuff...

1;

package Bar;

sub import {
    my $class = shift;
    if (@_) {
        my $x = shift; # passed from Foo
        warn "$class: got '$x' from ".caller()."\n";
        # now do whatever you like with 'x'
    }
}
# more stuff...
