The third and final article in the series was published on Perl.com after I started writing the above homily.
To my eye, the third article represents an improvement on the earlier two, and the discussions of the Composite and Proxy patterns do manage to convey the essence of the patterns. Unfortunately, the article still suffers from a few flaws; for example, the section labeled "Abstract Factory" only discusses concrete factories, and ignores the specific issues that the "abstract" part of the Abstract Factory pattern addresses.
(I've also written the author of the series, Phil Crow, to give him an opportunity to respond here if he'd like.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
