Created Game::Life::Boundless Perl Module

Yesterday while looking for good Java applet examples I browsed to the site, contained applet with Game of Life. Then suddenly an idea visited my mind if I can do Perl module to generate Game of Life iteration which could output boundless game board. First of all, I visited http://www.cpan.org and found module Game::Life. It ccan generate life iterations, but requires to set game board size. So it has bounds which we don't want. The rest is simple: I wrote module myself, using method names from Game::Life. Now I'm registering with PAUSE. Since I do that and upload the module - it will be available at http://www.cpan.org.
