I'm using Catalyst which has a Captcha plugin and all I did to add
this was:

=item captcha

Generates captcha images.

=cut

sub captcha : Local {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
    if ( $c->config->{captcha} ) {
        $c->create_captcha;
    } else {
        $c->res->status( 404 );
    }
}

So perhaps you could look at the Captcha plugin and duplicate what it does in
your script.  You can see it's not very complex:

I will note that I found the generated images a bit hard to read at
times.
