Yes I scratched my head quite a bit on that one :-)
The BaseName/LoadPlugin directive will select the right perl Module.
The <Plugin ...> directive refers to the plugin_register() callback's plugin name.

If your __PACKAGE__ is Collectd::Plugins::Mine, and is calling plugin_register ([...], "mine")
you need something like:

--
<LoadPlugin "perl">
  Globals true
</LoadPlugin>

<Plugin "perl">
  BaseName "Collectd::Plugins"
  LoadPlugin "Mine"
[... this will look for PERL5LIB(s).../Collectd/Plugins/Mine.pm ...]
  <Plugin "mine">
[... this will register with the plugin called "mine" ...]
    Interval    300
[...]
  </Plugin>
</Plugin>
