As Reini also mentioned, an upgrade in Cygwin and Perl turned out to fix the problems altogether. Today I try actually using PAR::Packer -- stay tuned ;)

Perhaps it's a weird artifact of how your old Cygwin Perl 5.8.8 tries to link an executable with an embedded Perl interpreter (that's what par.exe is)? "Usage: ./file2c.pl file.pl file.c c_variable" is definitely triggered if par.exe doesn't exist (though the message is a little misleading). Cheers, Roderich
