in thread PAR::Packer installation

However cpan is configured on your system there is not much here to go on, a manual install may be different. Here is the result of cpan PAR::Packer on my one of my Windows systems:

I recently outlined part of the reason why I gave up on ActiveState Perl. In short, if you're developing Perl on Microsoft Windows make life easy for yourself and use Strawberry Perl. You won't regret it. You'll note that the same advice comes from many other people in their responses to several of your module installation threads.
