Something looks strange with your @INC. Compare with mine when I make it fail on a nonexistent package Zowie:

C:\Kai\perl\PAR test>pp -o test.exe test.pl

C:\Kai\perl\PAR test>test
Can't locate Zowie.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xd9d784) C:\DOCUME
+~1\KAICAR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-Kai_Carver\cache-1105735837/inc/lib C:\
+DOCUME~1\KAICAR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-Kai_Carver\cache-1105735837/inc C
+ODE(0xd306d8) .) at script/test.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/test.pl line 3.

C:\Kai\perl\PAR test>

The part with the cache where everything is supposed to be stored is missing from your error output.

Also, can you maybe try to install PAR using ppm, rather than CPAN.pm?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
