It would help a little if you enclosed the command session output in code tags (<c></c>) - that being said...

• the Makefile is the file generated by the perl Makefile.pl step
• ..syntax error at -e line 1, next char ) Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1 suggests that the error is in the perl one-liner:

  C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe "-Minc::Module::Install" -e "extract_p
  +ar(q(PAR-Packer-0.982-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.8.par))"
  [download]

  contained in the generated make script.

What happens i.e. do you still get the same error, if you run the one-liner by hand at the command prompt ?

What happens if you change q(PAR-Packer-0.982-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.8.par) to read 'PAR-Packer-0.982-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.8.par' in the one-liner and re-run the one-liner by hand at the command prompt ?
