installed it with cpan

I think you are right, I came to a similar conclusion and therefore
tried adding the <compatibility> section of the manifest file from MSDN
to the myldr/winres/pp.manifest file in the PAR-Packer-1.041 source, and
then rebuilt and reinstalled PAR-Packer from the modified source.
With this change, PAR-Packer displays the Windows version info correctly
(tested on Win 10 and 8.1).
Please also see the following node on perlmonks where I quoted exactly
what I added: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1209323

No problem, in case your fix differs from what I already tried (as
described above) I can certainly try it.
