You can download 1Mbyte example of my distribution at http://www.vkonovalov.ru/files-exchange/perl58tk84-for-cd.zip, it unpacks to 2Mbytes, and runs independent of existing Perl software on machine.

Unpack it to some directory, and run "start.exe"

Few comments:

• index.txt is auxillary file for application itself, not for bootstrapping distro.
• msvcrt.dll could be just removed for 99% of Windows computers already have it; only elder Windows95 w/o SR require it.
• all perl-5.8.x+Tk84 library files live in modules/modules.pm.
• No temporary files.

In case there will be some kind of interest, I'll provide more detailed explanations, just let me know.
However I don't think this will be the case.
