This may or may not help you. But it helped me, with an older version of Par::Packer.

This problem shows up because of a line in the myldr\Makefile.PL .That file is similar in later versions (for these lines).

line 70 my $cc = $Config{cc};

sets this location of the compiler. in my autogenerated Makefile in the same directory is

line 7 CC=C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe

Line 106 in myldr\Makefile.PL

} elsif ($cc =~ m/^gcc\b/i or ($cc =~ m/^cc\b/i and $gccversion)) {

As that line stands, it wants $cc to start with gcc, when it begins with C:/MinGW. So it won't find the $cc

A solution (good enough for my purposes) was

line 106:} elsif ($cc =~ m/\bgcc\b/i or ($cc =~ m/^cc\b/i and $gccversion)) {

The important line that this affects is

line 111     $res = ($^O =~ /^(?:MSWin|cygwin)/) ? 'win32.coff' : '';

since we want $res to = 'win32.coff'

In the autogenerated Makefile, this value shows up in the line for "OBJECTS =", and in the line after "$static.exe".

Without this change, the Resources Section is never created. But there may be other sources of glitches. If your compiler is not the MinGW gcc, this probably helps little.
