[Disclaimer: I have the same Mac system as you (running Perlbrew) but it's ~300 miles away from where I'm currently sitting. What follows is entirely from memory: I encourage you to check the information first rather than following blindly.]

Check $PATH. If Perlbrew has been set up correctly, you should have this order: 

...:/Users/rl/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/bin/:...:/usr/bin/:...

[download]

If not, you may need to do something with ${PERLBREW_ROOT}/etc/bashrc, such as sourcing from .bashrc, see perlbrew (and in particular, its CONFIGURATION section) for details.

You should also check that perlbrew is switched to the correct Perl version. I'd typically use list for that: 

$ perlbrew list
  ...
* perl-5.16.3
  ...

[download]

Assuming you're all set up correctly, then what you're describing suggests that you haven't installed PAR::Packer under your 5.16.3 version of Perl. See if pp exists in /Users/rl/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/bin/.

In case you weren't aware, pp used to be part of PAR, but is no longer. From the start of its documentation:

"pp used to be part of the PAR distribution but is now shipped as part of the PAR::Packer distribution instead."

You may simply have installed PAR thinking that gave you pp, as it used to.

If that doesn't help, please post the output from the suggested checks and show us the installation steps you took. With that information, we can probably aid you further (if required).
