Good observation! I packed the following script (and checked that it has Windows CRLF line endings)

use strict;

use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
my @data = <DATA>;
print Dumper(\@data);
__DATA__
fooy
bar
quux
--- snip ---

$ perl data.pl <http://data.pl>
$VAR1 = [
          "foo\n",
          "bar\n",
          "quux\n"
        ];

but when I pack it

$ pp -o data.exe data.pl <http://data.pl>
$ .\data.exe
$VAR1 = [
          "foo\r\n",
          "bar\r\n",
          "quux\r\n"
        ];

I checked the script as packed into data.exe and it has its CRLF endings intact. But the hack that's used to actually run it (i.e. PAR::_run_member) uses a filehandle opened in binmode.
Looks like the implicit DATA filehandle inherits this setting somehow.

I'll have to think some more whether changing PAR::_run_member might have side effects.

Thanks for confirming that.  Chomp certainly doesn't fix
the problem.  Oddly I couldn't get the variable I wanted
no matter what I did!  I always got the variable in front of
or behind the one I wanted, even though I only moved the
array index by one.

I finally gave up and removed all the newlines.  I just
put all the data on one line now.

It's a bit frustrating, but I have my fix.
I'm surprised I was the one to point this out.
Must be very few of us Windows par users.
