A lot of the distribution files for linux are in the form of either somefile.tgz (sometimes somefile.tar.gz) or somefile.tar.bz2

These are compressed archives that cannot read directly.
mount your cd
for tgz and tar.gz files

Code:

cd /path/to/cdrom 
find . -name '*.tgz'  -exec tar tfz {} \; | grep foo
find . -name '*.tar.gz' - exec gzcat {} \; | tar tf - | grep foo

for bz2 files, ( .tbz, tar.bz2 etc. ) use

Code:

cd /path/to/cdrom
find . -name '*.bz2' -exec bzcat {} \;  | tar tf | grep foo

NAME

       CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of the tarballs

VERSION

       version 0.60

SYNOPSIS

	 use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];

	 my $perl = '5.14.0';

	 my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );

	 print "Location: ", $_, "
" for values %{ $hashref };

DESCRIPTION

       CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all "perl" releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the "authors/id/"
       path that the tarballs reside in.

       This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN.

FUNCTIONS

       "perl_tarballs"
	   Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an hashref on success or "undef" otherwise.

	   The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and
	   "tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be
	   located.

	     perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );

	     Returns a hashref like:

	     {
	       "tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
	       "tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
	     }

	   Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".
