Based on other responses I may be missing the point... but how about:

sub chain {
  my (@subs) = @_;
  sub { my (@p) = @_;
    foreach (@subs) {
      @p = $_->(@p);
    }
  }
}

sub a { $_[0] += 1; print "a - $_[0]\n"; @_ }
sub b { $_[0] += 2; print "b - $_[0]\n"; @_ }
sub c { $_[0] += 3; print "c - $_[0]\n"; @_ }

$x = chain(\&a, \&b, \&c);
$x->(7);

# Output:
#   a - 8
#   b - 10
#   c - 13
