This is somewhat confusing. Actually, it's plain wrong - as build 1006 is
perl-5.10.1, not 5.10.0.
Perhaps you've installed build 1006 over the top of build 1005 and the
upgrade hasn't worked properly ? If so, you could try deleting your perl
installation entirely and then re-installing build 1006.

If your perl installation is in proper working order (which appears to be
*not* the case with your perl), and if you installed PAR using ppm, then the
problem will most likely be as stated in
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=798793 .
One solution would to be build PAR yourself from source (for which you'll
need a compiler), or to find a ppm package for PAR that was built using the
same version of perl as you have.
