And they would have to add the CGIAppPluginMethod attribute 
to the methods they want the user to have access to. Just 
like this:

sub Mode1 : CGIAppPluginMethod
{
  [whatever]
}

In the .pm file you're writing for you app you would

use 'SomePlugin';

and the methods the author gave to you would automatically 
be there for you to use as if they belonged to the class 
you're currently writing.
