Something with several versions of Perl

Yes, it would be nice to have several versions of Perl around, just to experiment with them.

tons of CPAN modules

You would probably need more than a single CD for that. Even CPAN::Mini creates a minimalist mirror of the CPAN that has over 440Mb ATM.

some IDE like Eclipse/EPIC

I disagree with this one... but that's me :-) YMMV :-)

lots of sample code

Er... OK, but this probably wouldn't be easy to come by, unless of course we'd choose a section of perlmonks and copy-paste it there, or something (you'd get the comments, which could be good).

links to websites

Sounds like a nice idea, yes.

a few HTML pages that explain how to access it all, etc.

Actually, I think this might be a very good idea... Do I see anyone volunteering? O:-)

We were thinking of getting a company to sponsor some CPAN cds for YAPC::EU::2005. Perhaps a small team could assemble a bunch of useful stuff and, provided we do get a company to support it, we could hand those cds over (not only to conference atendees, of course).
