Not quite but

1 Howard Wilkinson did a _lot_ of work developing a generic plugin 
framework and this may include what you are seeking (Howards extensive 
corresp should be archived)

2 Yuval Kogman completely independently tackled the same problem mainly 
from the point of view of robust program execution within a Perl module 
(Howard defined a check method which was a user callback responsible for 
determining the health of the service).

Yuval's stuff wasn't made public (unless he has done so on CPAN). Benoit 
has seen both approaches and may have an opinion.
