If you realy think, that your script is usefull :
Make it become a module conforming to Perl coding standard
and upload it to CPAN.
I realy dislike the way Debian !IGNORES! CPAN.
e.g. debconf, debhelper, netbase and dpkg-perl deserve their
Perl modules to become either !DELETED! or !REWRITTEN! to
conform to Perl coding standard.
Those !BROKEN! modules are the main reason, that its impossible
to throw Perl 5.005 in the trashcan, and to use Perl 5.6 as a
default perl for Debian. To use Perl 5.6 is a requirement for
any serious XML work, because of `use utf8;`. So Debian is quite
useless for XML, because of its dependencies to !BROKEN! modules.
I would realy deprecicate, if you upload a version of XML::XPath
containing something not in the CPAN module!

take a look at XML::Filter::Digest. This is using XML::XPath::Builder,
and its own light weight script to query XPath on XML documents.
