Sorry, it wasn't the tutorial, but the catalyst POD under the 
Description section:

If your plugin starts with a name other than Catalyst::Plugin::, you can 
fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:

   use Catalyst qw/
       My::Module
       +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
   /;

But it's OK as I'm persuaded by the previous arguments that it is better 
to load non-plugin modules in the controllers as needed. 
DBIx::Class::QueryLog was probably a better example to cite which I 
previously loaded as +DBIx::Class::QueryLog.
