TeX Live includes biber.exe, which is packaged as a stand-alone binary

Ken
are you sure is a stripping issue ?
Yes.
$ biber --help
Can't locate PAR.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

line 951.
not surprising as PAR.pm is not part of any cygwin package
The unstripped binary doesn't have this problem, and doesn't require
PAR.pm. In fact, the unstripped binary doesn't even require that perl
be installed.
