Implementing your algorithm as a module for your own use can be very easy. Bundling that module into a package suitable for upload to CPAN can be challenging, especially your first module. There are tools to help you build, document, test, install, and update your module suitable for upload. Upload to CPAN is optional. Building all your modules this way makes them easier to use and to update. Unfortunately this tool set has a rather steep learning curve. The best introduction I have found is in the book "Intermediate Perl".
Start with the algorithm you already have. Save your updates until you are more comfortable with the build process.

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).
