I build the par file with:
pp -p -o testfile.par testfile.pl
(where testfile.pl contains the above text only)
If I extract the par with `unzip testfile.par` and then view the
extracted file, I see it does contain File/Temp.pm, and it is the
version from the source system, ie. 0.22.
If I copy testfile.par to the remote system, and then execute either
`parl testfile.par` or `par -MPAR testfile.par` I receive the error:
to...@arya-tmp:~$ perl -MPAR filetest.par
Can't locate object method "newdir" via package "File::Temp" at
script/filetest.pl line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
(Note that the target system already has File::Temp 0.18 available in
the system, but that version doesn't support the newdir() method.)

PAR::Packer was built on the source machine, and turned into a debian
package, which was then installed on the target machine.
Thanks for your help so far,
