It looks like the Perl module Env::Modulecmd will do what you want. From the documentation:

Env::Modulecmd provides an automated interface to modulecmd from Perl. The most straightforward use of Env::Modulecmd is for loading and unloading modules at compile time, although many other uses are provided.

Example usage:

 use Env::Modulecmd { load => 'foo/1.0' };
