Algorithm seems like the more general one, but since it is not
hard science simply modulus gymnastics and it is not security,
but mere validation and generation.
in a sense, everything is an algorithm. :-) I see Algorithm:: as
the place for things whose purpose it is to perform some abstract
operation on a specific data structure. This is fuzzy, I know; a
more solid definition would be difficult to give, if it is at all
possible.
Your code is not an algorithm in that abstract sense, though.
Business::DK::* sounds perfect to me.

I agree with Aristotle's reasoning. I further suggest you try to
work your algorithms into existing modules. For example:
Regexp::Common::SEN - provide regexes for Social-Economical Numbers
http://search.cpan.org/~abigail/Regexp-Common-2.120/lib/Regexp/
Common/SEN.pm
This currently lacks a Danish entry, so your contribution would be
extremely valuable
Regexp::Common::zip - provide regexes for postal codes
http://search.cpan.org/~abigail/Regexp-Common-2.120/lib/Regexp/
Common/zip.pm
Danish postal codes are already present. Here's the code at present:
Denmark => "(?k:(?k:[1-9])(?k:[0-9])(?k:[0-9]{2}))",
# Postal codes of the form: 'DDDD', with the first
# digit representing the distribution region, the
# second digit the distribution district. Postal
# codes do not start with a zero. Postal codes
# starting with '39' are in Greenland.
The advantage of adding your code into Regexp::Common is that R::C is
very popular, and your work would likely benefit more people than if
you were to create a brand new package. And perhaps some new energy
would push Abigail et al. to finally release an updated version which
could address some of the RT bugs, like getting Javadoc added to
Regexp::Common::comment
