PAR is being developed rapidly and recently. It's the perfect replacement for commercial bundler solutions (like PerlApp and perl2exe). If you search here at the monastery, you'll find many recent references to PAR.

PAR solves a nice niche of problems. PAR bundles can also be used with Apache::PAR to create the equivalent of JSP units. Nice.

I haven't done a column on PAR... yet. It's in my short to-do list... probably in a few months or so when I fully get my head around all the ways it can be used.
