The various references you gave suggests that this is a problem peculiar to perl-5.8.7 (ActivePerl 813) and PAR. In all other cases I'm familiar with, the "procedure entry point PL_memory_wrap could not be located" error was a result of using a ppm package built with perl-5.8.x on a system with perl-5.8.y, where x > y. This made sense in the context of binary compatibility within the perl-5.8 series, and so I compile ppm packages with perl-5.8.0, which should be compatible with any later perl-5.8.x.

However, PAR, at least when used on perl-5.8.7, seems to require using perl-5.8.7 when building a ppm package. I've made such a package up, called PAR-587, and placed it in our uwinnipeg repository. Could you give that a go and see if it works any better? I would expect that this would work (if indeed it does) only on perl-5.8.7; for earlier perl versions, the PAR package in our repository, compiled with perl-5.8.0, should be used.
