The formatting of your post is fine, but you should choose a better node title. See How do I compose an effective node title?. This will help you to get a better response.

With regards to speeding up your code, you could try to profile it. See the Tutorials section: Profiling your code.

I would also appreciate any constructive criticism on my code, I am here to learn.
perlcritic is a handy tool for automatically criticizing your code. 
for($i = $value; $i <= $range; $i++){

A more Perl-ish way to write this for loop is: 
for $i ($value .. $range){

Also 
print $fibValue1.' / '.$fibValue2.' = '.$phiApprox;

[download]
can be written as (with less typing): 
print "$fibValue1/$fibValue2 = $phiApprox";
