I was in a similar situation with a client a while ago. On several servers I built Perl 5.8.8 from source. Their network had no internet connectivity, though I could transfer files between networks via a USB memory stick and an uploader station. On my own network I used CPAN::Mini to create a local mirror. After some discussion with their Security team, the agreed to allow me to host this internally to their network. Given that you work for the company in question making them see sense in allowing you to do something similar shouldn't be a big issue. As you say you could copy and paste the source of a module from cpan, which in theory breaks their 'third party rule'.

In order to protect yourself from any potential disciplinary actions I think you should discuss such a course of action as detailed above.
