True: you can put html on the DOS floppy, but with 8.3 limitation and no
images, I think.

To "unbuild" the root is very easy. This is the "ramdisk" file on the
floppy disk. It is a gziped image:
# gzip -dc ramdisk > /tmp/root
# mount -o loop root /mnt
But, as far to add Perl is concerned, this is impossible: perl is a very
big binary. You can do with ash everthing you will do with perl.
