Hello everyone! i am having some trouble with PAR::Packer

I made a PAR executable package from a script and it runs fine. When I run it, it extracts to a temporary folder and executes from there.

I want to take the already extracted contents and launch that in some way from command line. I assume after extraction there is some exe launched with some arguments, but this isnt documented anywhere that i read, or is more advanced than i can understand

in the extracted temp file the only executable seems to be a modified copy of par.exe I found in the PAR module in my strawberryperl distribution (same 57344 bytes, 97 bytes are different).

when i run it i get 

Can't locate Win32.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .) at -e line 779.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 965.

[download]

I think there's something to do with @INC wich now i believe is something like include. Tried to manually set perl5lib env var and PAR variables in windows still no luck

Its like blackmagic , i have read everything i could find on PAR but it didnt solve my problem. Today i tried process explorer on it and it shows that the packed exe is running the small exe 37k from temp file, but no command line arguments. so it must be a temp file or env variable somewhere.

i posted this on another site but didnt get an answer, thats why im posting here too
