Not necessary as I can reproduce your problem here after a clean
install of the Strawberry 5.12.3.0 MSI + "cpan -i PAR::Packer"

BTW, my Strawberry says (different from yours)

> perl -V
...
  %ENV:
    PERL_JSON_BACKEND="JSON::XS"
    PERL_YAML_BACKEND="YAML"
  @INC:
    C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib
    C:/strawberry/perl/vendor/lib
    C:/strawberry/perl/lib
    .


Preliminary findings:

- running "perl extract-embedded.pl show-inc.exe ..."
  shows that indeed IO.dll is missing

- in fact the FILE stuff
  (cf. 
http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/PAR-1.002/lib/PAR/Tutorial.pod#Anatomy_of_a_Self-Contained_PAR_executable)
  in show-inc.exe contains no DLL except Win32.dll (would have
  at least expected IO.dll, Cwd.dll, Zlib.dll, Glob.dll, possibly others)

- myldr/parl.exe (in the PAR-Packer build directory) (which is the
  "prototypical" packed executable) _does_ contain the above DLLs

Puzzled, Roderich
