Hmmm,
I think I see a problem, I don't have a file called ABC.pm......... ?!?
What I wanted to do was to put/install a bunch of modules in one directory, called 'ABC'.....
Do I need a file called ABC.pm ? if yes what should be in there ?
Is Module::Pluggable still useful ?

Don't have any personal experience with it, but don't see why you would. Worst case, you can specify the dirs for it to look in according to the docs.

You could use PodMaster's method too. I just figured using plugins is more suited to what you're trying to do.

I think I know what you're looking for, but there are a couple of problems to resolve, first.

Let's start with how you name modules. Given the two names you have (ABC::plot_XML.pm and ABC::plot_BLABLA.pm), here's what you need:

1. A directory somewhere in @INC (which usually includes '.') named 'ABC'
2. Two files in that directory, named 'plot_XML.pm' and 'plot_BLABLA.pm'
3. These files have statements package ABC::plot_XML.pm; and package ABC::plot_BLABLA.pm, respectively.

I suggest a quick review of perlmod, as it covers the basics nicely.

Now, to find which 'ABC' modules are available from within your script 'abc.pl', you can use Module::Find:

use Module::Find;
# my @found = findsubmod('ABC');  #if you want all ABC::* modules
my @found = grep { m/^ABC::plot_/ } findsubmod('ABC');  #all ABC::plot
