I discovered Business::CreditCard
http://search.cpan.org/~ivan/Busine...7/CreditCard.pm

while reading this article from perl.com
http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2004/04/29/maypole.html

Check if it's what you want.

That's a fine module, but you might want to have a separate list of dummy numbers that are valid but used for test purposes only.
4111 1111 1111 1111 is one that comes to mind.
