I assume:

MyApp->plugin( 'prototype', 'HTML::Prototype' );

is similar to following in Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype:

__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata('prototype');
__PACKAGE__->prototype( HTML::Prototype->new );

It allows you to assign an object instance to the $c namespace. The
define_javascript_functions method is part of the HTML::Prototype object,
not the Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype itself. Methods directly in the plugin
as sub foo {} get assigned as $c->foo.
