Presuming that "component" is set in the stash during your constructor
(at the time of "USE"), you should be able to grab "component.foobar"
to refer to "META foobar = ...". Something like:
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $context = shift;
if (my $foobar = $context->stash->get("component.foobar")) {
..
}
bless { ... }, $class;
}
Untested, but the docs lead me to believe this, and I'd start there.

Thanks.
