Update: Perhaps my answer wasn't so helpful to you as i intended, sorry.

You wrote: "At first, I want to begin by generating a test set for N integer numbers..."

So i just wanted to show a way to generate such a randomized test set. I hope very much that i didn't confuse you.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

#...get a seed

open(RANDOM, "<", "/dev/random") or die $!;
read(RANDOM, $_, 4);
close RANDOM;

srand(unpack("L", $_));

#...do the shuffle

my @k = ( 1..10 );

for ( my $i = @k ; --$i ; ) {
     my $j = int( rand( $i + 1 ) );
     next if $i == $j;
     @k[ $i, $j ] = @k[ $j, $i ];
}

print join( " ", @k) . qq(\n);

#...and give your custom sort a chance
