If it is thought to be useful, then I'll do the rest of the work necessary for a CPAN upload.

You've already done much of the necessary work for a CPAN module, except for a few tests maybe (but you can add them anytime). Just upload it and let people decide if it's useful or not. At least, that's more or less what brian_d_foy told us in his recent visit to Barcelona Perl Mongers. Besides, being in CPAN will make your module easier to find.
