I haven't tried this but it seems like it should be straight forward.

First decide where you're going to mount the CD. I'll assume it's /mnt/cdrom. So create the directory /mnt/cdrom and install Perl, specifying /mnt/cdrom as the prefix (read the install notes on how to accomplish that if you don't know).

Once it's installed, install anything else you need like Storable.

Then use mkisofs to create the cdrom image, and cdrecord to burn it.

Finally, delete everything under /mnt/cdrom (or move it elsewhere) and try mounting the CD.
