I used MicroWeb - http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm.
You can download a full-functioning version with a "not licensed" pop-up.
It installs itself with a version of Perl (IndigoPerl). You get only a very
minimal install of modules at the start. However, this Perl appears to be
fully compatable with the ActiveState modules (though no ppm). I just
copied over the modules I needed from AS Perl on my HD. Only issue was that
several of the modules depended upon several other lesser known modules
(alot more than I realized). Once this was worked-out, all worked fine.
The application I developed, used CGI.pm (included with MicroWeb, though I
may have added some additional CGI::xxxx modules), DBI::ODBC (used a
DSN-less connection), Cwd (to determine the drive-letter of the CD-ROM for
DSN-less connections, etc), PDF::Create, and several other modules.
The MicroWeb web-server itself is an Apache-based web server. It starts
itself and opens the default page if autorun is configured on the CD-ROM.
Otherwise, there is an executable to start the application.
HTH,
- Eric
