There are some reference implementations in other languages at this site: https://celestrak.com/publications/AIAA/2006-6753/. No IDL, but it should not be too hard to port. I know it's been done before... I believe an efficient IDL port would be considerably fewer than 200 lines of IDL code, excluding comments.
