You need a bit more than just the .pm and README files to create a CPAN package. I think the best place to start is to read perlnewmod.

It's probably easiest to create an "empty" source tree using h2xs and then copy the code from your .pm file into the template in the new tree (and fill in the documentation).

When you've done that, you can run the usual

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make dist
[download]

to create the distribution tarball.

Also, you don't need to register a namespace. You can if you want to, but it's not required.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
