Most tutorials that teach Perl OOP (Object Oriented Programming) focus on the nuts and bolts (which is important), but neglect the equally important "Why" or reasons for using OOP.
This is very true. Thanks for this very nice post which I would upvote several times if I could. :-)
Your fable is a very nice explanation as to the "why OOP?". I might actually want to re-use the idea for a Perl-6 OOP tutorial I am planning to write soon in French, if you allow me (I would of course give due credit and link to this post).

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
