You seem to misunderstand the issue. There are no circular dependencies
like that. The problem is that it should pack this file into the
executable, but it doesn't (on Strawberry Perl) due to backslashes in
$INC. And we didn't see this error on earlier versions, because earlier
versions didn't clear PERL5LIB/etc.

When you install with force you are just masking the issue. You are
installing PAR::Packer into site and it means that now when testing it
picks PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm from site instead of blib, but it still
fails to pack PAR itself (PAR/Heavy.pm), that's installed in vendor
(with backslashes). Yes, executables will work on your machine, but
will fail to work on any other machine that doesn't have Strawberry
Perl installed.
