A quick look at "pp.bat" makes me think that this isn't really a PAR problem, that it is a problem for perldoc.bat... which seems to launch some pager... looks like more< is the first to try...
Using "perldoc -v pp", I get normal pager behavior, space bar works to produce the naxt page, or Enter for the next line. But using "pp -h", the space bar does nothing, Enter produces a command prompt, and subsequent enter keys allow one line of text alternating with one "-- More --" prompt to come out. So the output is gross, hard to read, and it takes lots of Enter keys to get it all. Maybe something gets screwed up during the "exec" handoff?
windows 2000 SP4, perl 5.8.4 ActiveState build 810
So why did I encounter this for PAR, first? Probably because most modules have all their documentation in the HTML form, but I couldn't find such for pp. So I tried "pp -h", and there was the problem.
