subject: An interesting question

I want to write a program that would contain an unknown number of 
modules.  None of the modules would contain or use global variables and 
none would be dependent on anything outside that module itself.  What I 
envision is some way for a module to be able to tell a controller:

     1.  that it exists.
     2.  what it does.  This would be a string supplied by the
         module itself (such as: "What is the meaning of life").
     3.  what function would have to be called in order for the
         module to spring to life.

Does anybody have an idea how I could implement such a beast?
