Checking the original executable:
$ ./blah
Compress::Raw::Zlib object version 2.008 does not match bootstrap
parameter 2.024 at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm line
97.

$ grep VERSION ./Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm
$VERSION = '2.024';
$ md5sum ./auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/Zlib.so

# This matches the md5sum of version 2.024 on the build machine.
So it seems like the executable PAR file contains both .pm and .so of
version 2.024, yet when executed is still mysteriously trying to load
the .so from the target machine.
