I'm encountering the same problem running perl 5.14.2 on Windows XP from a Strawberry Perl 5.14.2.1-32bit distribution.

After running dmake realclean, here is the output that you mentioned would be helpful from perl Makefile.PL and dmake:

C:\DwimPerl\perl\Downloads\PAR-Packer-1.013>perl Makefile.PL
