I get a different error with PAR 0.80 and perl 5.6.1 on linux. Still an error.

You could try writing your own script/main.pl that tweaks PERL5LIB. I'm considering doing the same to add $ENV{PAR_TEMP} to $ENV{PATH} 

$ pp -o myscript -e 'print "$_\n" for($0, $^X, $ENV{PAR_TEMP})'
$ (PATH=`pwd` ; myscript)
myscript
perl
/tmp/par-bsb/cache-89ce8dd3edc8a3087f577d4031b104f815b5280e
$ (PATH=`pwd` ; cd /; myscript)
Usage: myscript [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [ -Mmodule ] [ src.par ] [ pro
+gram.pl ]
       myscript [ -B|-b ] [-Ooutfile] src.par
$ unzip -l myscript

my $member = eval { $zip->memberNamed('script/ppp4lZz.pl') }
