It says here what's missing. You could get Parse::Binary and Win32::Exe from CPAN and install them. They do not contain any XS code, so you don't need a compiler for them. Just the usual: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake install for each. And then PAR. > ==> Auto-install the 2 optional module(s) from CPAN? [n] y Or just say NO !. They really are optional and only needed if you want to add your own icon to a PAR exe file. > *** Dependencies will be installed the next time you type 'nmake'. > *** ExtUtils::AutoInstall configuration finished. > *** Installing dependencies... > *** You are not allowed to write to the directory 'n\sources'; Not sure what happened there.
