in reply to Component-based architecture in Perl

I'm not quite sure how useful the component approach is, but that might be because I might not have fully understood it. If you have classes that all behave the same, aren't they subclasses of a common parent? And in that case, I can treat them all the same (where they share the same interface of the parent). So why is there a need to handle this case specially?
