Are you allowed to write files on these miserable appliances? Do they have any kind of httpd?

Since you can't install any of the missing pieces you need (They expect you to demo a perl app without perl?!), perhaps your best bet is do an end-around and boot linux from the cd. Be sure not to write to NT filesystems, AFAIK that is destructive. You could use USB "keychain" storage for your writable file system.

It is also possible to use PAR to produce an executable with perl and all your modules and your script included, but you need a working perl installation on windows to do that. And it still doesn't solve the lack of httpd.
