As you can see from the docs below, "use" statements are processed before regular code. So I doubt putting them in the subroutine will accomplish what you want. 
  use Module VERSION LIST
     use Module VERSION
     use Module LIST
     use Module
     use VERSION
             Imports some semantics into the current package from
             the named module, generally by aliasing certain
             subroutine or variable names into your package.  It
             is exactly equivalent to

                 BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }

             except that Module must be a bareword.

In 882270 tilly suggested:
The third option I see is to try to debug the thread problems in the original modules. I have no idea how easy or hard that will be. If you're lucky it will be as simple as not using the modules, but instead require them in the thread that you instantiate the objects from.
Have you tried ditching "use" and go with "require" like he suggested? Seems like the next course of action to take.
