Wow, nice catch there.  That's certainly the culprit.

In the interim, I discover this site:
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/

I downloaded:
PAR.ppd
PAR-0.79-PPM58.tar.gz       
PAR-Dist.ppd
PAR-Dist-0.07-PPM58.tar.gz  

Then moved to the download directory and ran:
ppm install PAR-Dist
ppm install PAR

Tada.

They also have the appropriate gzips for perl v5.6

Clay.
