this sounds like a straightforward subclassing arrangement -- unless I'm missing 
something crucial?

MyBaseClass.pm:

  package MyBaseClass;

  # all the stuff currently in MyApp::B here

  1;

MyApp/A.pm:

  package MyApp::A;
  use base qw( MyBaseClass );
  1;

MyApp/B.pm:

  package MyApp::B;
  use base qw( MyBaseClass );
  1;


then override and extend MyApp::A and MyApp::B for whatever application-specific 
reasons you have.
