I have to agree with your one-liner; writing a whole class for this seems a bit much.

Yer, I guess it is overkill, plus, some people could find it slow (me I have time, 1 second is ok to me to get a random number).

The idea is also to show off a bit of the Modern Perl™ OOP capabilities, maybe some people would be like « oh, this is Perl? It changed! ». Because I feel like Zydeco is an already usable OO system that is the closest to what Corrina seems to become. We will have to wait a bit more before being able to play with the "modern" core OO capabilities, but this is totally usable.

Those people need to realize you don't always need OO. One of Perl's strengths is that it's multi-paradigm: you use the style that best fits the problem.
