Well, depending on your site you have two options:
* if the available options for sorting the product are limited, you're
best off by saving the resulting pages (wget, etc) on disk. Make
sure the links stored are relative to the current dir and that they don't
have no characteres that would make them impossible of being stored in
vfat/iso9660+joilet+rr/ext2/etc.
* have on cd apache with mod_perl and postgresl in installable form with
your data. Or have them already installed on the cd. The problem here is
that the source for your entire site will have to be distributed too
and available for everybody's eyes to see. You'll also have to have
different apaches and postgres for every architecture your clients use,
and you should configure them to use different ports than the normal
ones and above 1024, so that they don't conflict with already running
web servers and rdbms. Also, they will have to be configured without
absolute paths, and without any creation or writting to files (the cd
medium is read-only, of course).
Good luck! :)
