I just managed to find the environment we used and the format of parl (not pp) files in
http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PAR/script/par.pl Stand-alone executable format The format for the stand-alone executable is simply concatenating the following elements: * The executable itself Either in plain-text (par.pl) or native executable format (parl or parl.exe). * Any number of embedded files These are typically used for bootstrapping PAR's various XS dependencies. Each section contains: The magic string "FILE" Length of file name in pack('N') format plus 9 8 bytes of hex-encoded CRC32 of file content A single slash ("/") The file name (without path) File length in pack('N') format The file's content (not compressed) * One PAR file This is just a zip file beginning with the magic string "PK\003\004". * Ending section A pack('N') number of the total length of FILE and PAR sections, followed by a 8-bytes magic string: "\012PAR.pm\012".
