Was it really the author's decision? Perhaps it was in that particular case, but I believe that in a more general way this may not be the truth.
Last week, I noticed that Writing Solid CPAN Modules was considered to be moved to Tutorials. Despite having been a monk for two years, I was, cough, hardly aware of the Tutorials section and it never occurred to me to post it there! So, I was pleased to learn about this possibility and will consider posting there next time.
On reflection, I agree with tye that many meditations (including mine) are not complete or detailed enough to be a tutorial, but could be polished up to a high enough standard with some extra effort from the author and especially by incorporating the feedback got from the meditation.

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).
