I was trying to do some perl developement the other day on a borrow windows laptop using a knoppix CD. I am working with RSS feeds so I wanted to use the XML::RSS module. I tried loading it with CPAN and got errors about a lock file and a read-only file system (yes, i know it is because it is on CD).

I was hoping that there was a way around this. I used Fabian's tools in the new 3.4 release to install apt-get, but I run into the same problem using it.

If anyone can tell me how to update perl with the Bundle::LWP modules and the XML::RSS modules specifically or any perl module generally that would be great.

Failing that, if anyone knows of a "developer" version of knoppix that includes most modules for perl that would be a good fall-back.

Failing that, if anyone knows of another LiveCD distro that might have that, I am open to suggestion. Thanks.
