I just released version 0.4 of CM::Permutation which has started out as an implementation of permutations , but it's grown to a bit more than that since , including implementations for:

rubik1 , rubik2 , rubik3 , screencast

It already has in the API methods like F,B,U,D,R,L,Fi,Bi,Ui,Di,Ri,Li so you can apply these moves to the cube.

I need help with writing an algorithm that will solve the cube. I saw an implementation of a Rubik's cube solver here on perlmonks, but I don't quite understand how it works. Is anyone interested in writing such a solver ?

This project is just for fun, there is no deadline or any constraints. If anyone's interested I'll upload the code to github so we can collaborate.
