cpancd creates an ISO image to burn on a CD. It is intended to be
used to create CD-rommable snapshots of CPAN.

It generates a subset of all CPAN files, by omitting older versions of
packages.

Currently (April 2001) the size of CPAN is about 880Mb, the generated
subset just over 630Mb. 

Up to date versions of this program will be available on CPAN,
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=cpancd

This program requires the mkisofs program. This is part of the
cdrtools package widely available. See, for example,
