The hash re-naming of packages is also the only reason PAR can't *unpack* Gtk2-perl applications -- it packs them correctly. I was able to get PAR to work with Gtk2-perl by extracting all the packed modules into a non-renamed lib dir and then filtering PAR's @INC subs out of the stack. I'm sure there's a good reason for doing the hash renaming, but it seems to make an awful lot of things not work.
