With your confirmation that they only contain one _init() subroutine each--although you are calling them as methods--personally, I can see no reason not to simply move the two _init() routines into your My package (with different names), and drop the extra packages.
Well, the main reason is modularity:
- Class My contains methods to deal with a particular kind of data (a kind of trees if that matters) regardless how I feed data to these objects
- My::XML contains, well, code that feeds data coming from a particular source. Although it is true that only _init is used by My, there are other functions/methods that are called by _init (all related with cleaning and parsing the data).
- The same for My::JSON.
For me, it makes a lot of sense to separate code that reads data in a special format to feed the objects from code that manage the objects.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
