Bug #46640 for Module-Pluggable: When we use <instantiate> option, <plugins> method creates new plugins object each time when we call it.

> I've found one inconvenient restriction in module. When I use > <instantiate> option, each call of method <plugins> creates new > instances of my plugins. This is not what I expect, I want to get the > same plugin objects in different points of my program. So the only way > is to call <plugins> method once, store returned objects list and then > use them. Is much more convenient to have some accessor method to > already created plugin objects.
