I suspect you'll want a few more packages, like the following:
 fileutils (cp, rm, mv, ls)
 gzip (for handling compressed files)
 man (in case you want to refer to your Perl man pages)
 sh-utils (pwd, tee, env)
 textutils (cat, sort, tr, tail)
 vim (for editing your Perl and C/C++ files)
Also, you'll probably want to get GNU Make too (it's in the make
package.) Looking at the uncompressed file requirements for this, you
get the following:
 Perl : 30MB
 GCC : 12MB
 bash : 2MB
 fileutils: 2MB
 gzip : .5MB 
 man : .1MB
 sh-utils : .5MB
 textutils: 2MB
 vim : 5MB
 TOTAL : 54MB
So, you should be able to put all of these on a Zip disk, and still
have plenty of space to keep your source files too. Go ahead and try
this out, and let me know if it in fact works. If it does, I'm
prepared to write a "how-to" and post it the list or put it on my web
site so that others can benefit.
