I've tried manually adding the .enc files to the package

What exact pp command did you use, i.e. where did you add them to?

XML::Parser tries to load non-built-in encodings (such as CP1252) from a list of paths @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path, so you might want to try adding (prepending) the appropriate path to that array ($ENV{PAR_TEMP} should hold the temporary/cache directory that PAR unpacks stuff to, so it should presumably be some path relative to PAR_TEMP).

See also ENCODINGS, PAR_TEMP and the (very informative!) where_is_it.txt (from the contrib/docs directory).

That said, I'm not really sure why XML::Parser doesn't find its encoding files by default. They should be under XML/Parser/Encodings/ (which - as it's part of the module - should've been included in the package anyway), and @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path is being initialised from @INC, which I presume PAR adds its own cache/temp directory to...
