I think you're solving a problem that doesn't exist. Java needs interfaces because it has no multiple inheritance. In Perl, you can just make a class that shows the abstract interface, and have everything that implements that interface inherit from it. You don't even need to put anything in the interface class. It can be totally abstract, or it can implement the methods by throwing an error that says "you were supposed to implement this in your class" as I've seen Damian Conway suggest.
I also agree with castaway that your example doesn't really make sense. An Airport that contains an Arcade does not implement the Arcade interface itself, so of course it won't inherit from Arcade.

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).
