They should load automatically if they're in lib/ since Module::Pluggable
will search anything in @INC and that's how Catalyst::Action::SerializeBase
finds the modules.

The map entry should be all that's required - if that's -not- working then
you need to post your code and your config so we can try and figure out
what's going wrong.
