Thanks pyrt for link to that node.

You might have better luck getting the makefile approach in that link to work. For my use case I manually replace the pp.ico file with my own version when building PAR::Packer. It works well enough when there is only have one icon file to use across executables.

Some explicit commands to build using cpanm are:

:: Install the dependencies first
cpanm --installdeps PAR::Packer
:: Now manually install PAR::Packer
cpanm --look PAR::Packer
rename .\myldr\winres\pp.ico pp.ico.bak
copy \path\to\my\icon.ico .\myldr\winres\pp.ico
perl Makefile.PL
:: if gmake is not available then use dmake instead
gmake
gmake test
gmake install

If you want to use a different icon file for different exe files then you could probably have multiple PAR::Packer installations using a local lib approach. Others would be better placed to give examples of that, though.
