Just FYI, I have added a "Breaking News" (pun intended) section on
http://par.perl.org/ that refers to this thread.  It says:

    PAR built with Archive::Zip 1.09 is known to emit lots of
    unneccessary warnings. Details are available [here]. We are working
    with Archive::Zip's author, Ned Konz, to hopefully resolve this
    issue by Archive::Zip 1.10.

I'm getting loads of bug reports on this one...

Thanks,
