Hi,
I have tried to install PAR on Windows/Cygwin/Perl-5.8.5 installation.
Via "cpan" I got install errors:- ------ CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AU/AUTRIJUS/PAR-0.85.tar.gz
*** ExtUtils::AutoInstall version 0.59 *** Checking for dependencies... [Core Features] - File::Temp ...loaded. (0.14 >= 0.05) - Compress::Zlib ...loaded. (1.33 >= 1.3) - Archive::Zip ...loaded.

I also tried also to use the PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4.par installation from the par.org website, but when I try to do a "PERL5LIB=/usr/local/PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4/lib pp -o myapp.exe myapp.pl" I get a "Can't find par loader at /usr/local/PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 101." error.
So presently I have not been able to get a working PAR on Windows/Cygwin.
Any help?
Thanks
Anthony
