Line 9 of Zlib.pm is indeed: use Scalar::Util qw(dualvar); The "is only avaliable with the XS version" error message is also in S::U source code, which seems to reinforce your analysis Rob.
I am however confused. Prior to reinstalling Scalar::Util, I tested the following script to check whether it was the culprit: use Scalar::Util qw(dualvar); print "$Scalar::Util::VERSION\n"; my $foo = dualvar 10, "Hello"; print "$foo\n"; And this is working fine, so dualvar seems to be available. Why doesn't it complain about the XS version in this case? I have Scalar::Util 1.18. Is it possible that another version is used when installing PAR::Packer?

The pure perl build of Scalar::Util does not have the 'dualvar' function. Try reinstalling Scalar::Util from source. That should (hopefully) produce an XS build of that module, and 'dualvar' will become available.
