in reply to Installing using CPAN without internet
Besides what others have suggested, look at CPAN::Mini. Install this on your internetted machine; ideally run minicpan daily on a cron job.
CPAN is conveniently about 600Mb, which fits comfortably on a CD. So, burn yourself a minicpan CD to take with you to go around the schools. On the target machines, use the CPAN shell:
o conf urllist unshift file://d:
assuming that the target machines are Windows and that the CDROM drive is d:. try an install, and if it works, do an o conf commit.

Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.
Your powers of persuasion will set them all free,
So oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
