I do see file 08708f45.so there and has good permissions.

What the error message is trying to tell you is that 08708f45.so can't be loaded because the shared library libclntsh.so.10.1 (that 08708f45.so is linked against) is not found.

Okay, just a guess... but Solaris' dynamic loader (ld.so.1) is special in that you can't modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH (required to find shared libs in non-standard locations) from within an already running program — due to caching at exec time.  (Also see %ENV and DBI, for example.)

If I'm reading the PAR sources correctly, it does add its temp directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH after unpacking, but AFAICT, it does not run the actual script via exec or system, but rather via do (which does not create a new process, so the above caching issue would apply). My assessment of the situation - based on quickly grepping through the sources - could be wrong, though...(!)

Anyhow, a possible workaround that you could try is to re-exec your script, e.g. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
    unless ($ENV{DONE_RESTARTING_MYSELF}) {  # avoid endless loop...
        $ENV{DONE_RESTARTING_MYSELF} = 1;
        exec $^X, $0, @ARGV;
    }
}
# ...
